ctrl+alt+[+] and ctrl+alt+[-] works ok , but it give only 3 possibilities txe maximum resolution is My default which is 1024x768. I have an 19inch monitor, so I wont 1600x1200.
The command xorgconfig works but the command SuperProbe does not. Is any other command like SuperProbe ?
Edit your xfree86conf file by hand. Add 1600x1200 in your preferred bit depth. Of course, follow the syntax already in there.
[edit]:
The command to configure X is NOT xorgconfig!! The command to configure X is dependent on the implementation of X11 that a platform is using!! Some people still use XFree (though I wouldn't know why). Additionally, different distributions have different manifestations of the configure script. For example, Gentoo has xorgconfig, xorgcfg, and `X -configure`.
Usually the way I figure out what the config script is is by doing a `locate conf | grep bin | grep x` and that should give you only (mostly) executable configure scripts.

I use xorgconfig function and set up new parameters. After reboot kde can't start becouse of wrong color deaph and it can't find suitable monitor.
Before i use xorgfunction i make an backup of xorgconfig file. But the problem is that i have graphical boot of slackware. So, i can't get into console to change the bad file with the right one.
After the system tell me the kde -xsistem will be permanently blocked i have an empty lines on which i can write but no command works.
