Hi manit123
If you are running xorg you can cycle through the screen resolutions listed in your xorg.conf file using Ctrl-Alt-minus
and Ctrl-Alt-plus.

#find / -xdev -iname 'xorg*'
/tmp/tcloop/xorg-7.6-lib
/usr/local/tce.installed/xorg-7.6-lib
there ain't any xorg.conf but ctrl+alt+plus/minus worked.

xrandr is available in the -bin extension.

That went well.
I downloaded & installed xorg-7.6-bin.tcz.
Consider this thread closed.
Thank you.
