just type xrandr, this will list all available monitors and possible modes/resolutions that you can use.
you will see a star (*) on the current used mode.
For instance:



>xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2720 x 1024, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 270mm
1280x1024 60.02 + 75.02*
1024x768 75.08 70.07 60.00
800x600 75.00 60.32
640x480 75.00 60.00
720x400 70.08
HDMI-0 connected primary 1440x900+1280+124 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm
1920x1080 60.00 +
1280x1024 60.02
1440x900 59.90*
1280x800 59.91
1152x864 75.00
1024x768 70.07 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
640x480 66.67 60.00
720x400 70.08


To change it, just type:



xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x900



this will change my second monitor (connected via HDMI port) to a new resolution.



there are more parameters you can set, like frequency, etc.

    Use this command:



    gksudo -k gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default


    to add the following script to the display manager default initialization configuration file:



    xrandr --newmode "1600x900" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
    xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x900
    xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x900


    The mode details can be found from the cvt command



    cvt -v 1440 900


    where 1440 is the screen width and 900 is the screen height. You can get the screen resolution dimensions from the laptop datasheet/manufacturers website.

          To change it, just type:



          xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x900



          this will change my second monitor (connected via HDMI port) to a new resolution.



          there are more parameters you can set, like frequency, etc.
          chenk more details with xrandr --help

              Use this command:



              gksudo -k gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default


              to add the following script to the display manager default initialization configuration file:



              xrandr --newmode "1600x900" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
              xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x900
              xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x900


              The mode details can be found from the cvt command



              cvt -v 1440 900


              where 1440 is the screen width and 900 is the screen height. You can get the screen resolution dimensions from the laptop datasheet/manufacturers website.
