Cycling video settings

[markdog12]

When I press ctrl + alt + "+" or "-" to cycle through video settings, nothing happens. I have my XF86Config-4 file set up to 1280x1024 for all 3 settings because i was stuck on 800x600 and couldn't change from it (even though i had 1280x1024 for one of the settings). I have Red Hat 7.2 and have a geforce2mx 400. When I attempt to run Xconfigurator, it rewrites the file and 'X' doesn't even work. I have to modify it through pico to work again. Any suggestions?

If i'm understanding you correctly then you need to have multiple entries to switch between

eg:

Modes "1280x19242 "1024x768" "800x600"

Then when you do the Ctrl Alt plus or minus thingy....it will switch between the modes you defined above.

Hope this helps
