Ubuntu VDS- Increase Resolution?

Post by darkremixx »

Simple as the title- How do you Increase the resolution on a VDS running Ubuntu? My current resolution is 800x600, trying to get it up to at least 1024x768 so that I can manage my windows a bit better. I have tried editing the xml file that stores the default resolution, but to no avail. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks for reading 8)

It would be easiest to adjust it through the GUI: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change ... buntu.html.

Make sure that you're using your own VNC server, and not the emergency VNC console that we provide, as described at http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =46&t=4846. This should offer you maximum options and performance.

Note that I do not recommend running a desktop on a Linux server because of the overhead it entails.
