Hi t18
You can have Xorg create an xorg.conf file for you.
Click the  Exit  icon
Select  Exit to Prompt
Then:

--- Code: ---sudo su
Xorg -configure
mv /root/xorg.conf.new /home/tc/
chmod 666 /home/tc/xorg.conf.new
chown tc:staff /home/tc/xorg.conf.new
exit
cp -a /home/tc/xorg.conf.new /home/tc/xorg.conf
startx
editor xorg.conf
--- End code ---
The screen resolution is usually set somewhere near the
end of the file. Try changing it to 1024x768 and save the file.
Then:
Click the  Exit  icon
Select  Exit to Prompt

--- Code: ---sudo mkdir /etc/X11
sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11
startx
--- End code ---

Hi Rich and all,

first I want to point out that using the default Xorg (that works at 800x600), when I "exit to prompt" probably the system does that but the screen remains blank and I don't see the prompt.
I have to reboot via ctrl+alt+canc.

Then tried the "Xorg -configure" but it gives errors, please see the attached log.

Finally I tried "X -config ./xorg.conf" using my conf file put together from previous attempts on other distros, please see it attached.
It doesn't load nor creates any log file.

Juanito:
Here's a conf snippet I've used to change the resolution on my laptop - it is placed in /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and you can call it 50-resolution or similar:
--- Code: ---Section "Device"
        Identifier     "Intel HD4400"
        Driver         "intel"
        Option         "monitor-eDP1" "eDP1"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier     "eDP1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier     "Default Screen"
        Device         "Intel HD4400"
        Monitor        "eDP1"
        DefaultDepth   24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth         24
                Modes         "1024x768" "1366x768" "640x384"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
--- End code ---

You would need to substitute the correct driver and monitor from those you see used in your Xorg.0.log

t18:
Thank you Juanito, unfortunately that file gets ignored unless I put 8 or 16 depth.

I'd be tempted to switch back to Xvesa if I can run Abiword and Gimp on it.

t18:
Either on Xvesa and Xorg I get some "trap invalid opcode" errors when starting Gimp or Vlc or Cmus.

Any way to fix them?
