[ILUG] How to change screen Res on the Fly???

You were right, it IS [CTRL]-[+].   _However_ this requires that you
have multiple modes set up in your /etc/XF86Config.   When you do a
[CTRL]-[+] X looks at this file for the next valid mode settings, and IF
it finds something will attempt to switch to it.

Theres a lot of good info on http://www.xfree86.org/ about setting up
your XF86Config, check it out.

Rgds,

Ruairi
