X generally has a habit of using the highest resolution that your monitor is capable of, to get it using the resolution you want is sometimes a bit tricky. I believe that Progeny uses XFree86 4.x, although I'm not sure how up to date the version is. Here's two ways of going about the change: 1. As root, run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86". On my machine (Debian Woody), this gives you the opportunity to reconfigure X. I'd suggest only selecting 800x600 and 640x480 as the resolutions that you'd like to run, which should put 800x600 at the top of the list of resolutions to try. Exit X and go back into it to test. 2. If this doesn't work, you can make the change manually, by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (or /etc/X11/XF86Config if you don't have -4). Have a look for the Screen section. There should be a number of Display subsections, each with a Modes line. Edit the Modes line, and remove the 1024x768 part. You'll have to do the same for all Modes lines - they should look something like this: Modes "800x600" "640x480" Restart X to see if the changes have been made. With either of the above options, you may find that the resolution has been changed to 800x600, but you have to scroll around a virtual 1024x768 screen. The fix for this is to edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file again, and to add the line: Virtual "800x600" under the Modes line, in each of the Display subsections.
