hi

why on earth 9.04 ?

open terminal , type

code:

 xrandr

this give list of supported resolutions.

here mine:

code:

matthew-s206:/home/matthew % xrandr screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 lvds connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 256mm x 144mm    1366x768       60.0*+    1280x720       59.9      1152x768       59.8      1024x768       59.9      800x600        59.9      848x480        59.7      720x480        59.7      640x480        59.4   hdmi-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) vga-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) matthew-s206:/home/matthew %

you select resolution with

code:

xrandr -s <resolution>

so me select 800x600 type

code:

xrandr -s "800x600"
