Right... if I go into "systemsettings" and try and specify any of the 
settings, it creates an xorg.conf file which pretty much messes everything 
up... no X, etc.
What happened was I'm on a KVM, and I let the system boot up while the KVM 
was switched to another computer. As usually happens the screen was HUGE! I 
tried rebooting, I tried specifying the settings, nothing worked. Now my 
best resolution is 1024x768 and I need to go to 1280x1024.
Any time I try and specify any settings in systemsettings, it messes things 
up as mentioned, so I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions?
