CentOS - Apr 2007 - Centos 5 -- X default resolution

Install did not recognize my LCD monitor, probably due to the old KVM.  
Anyway, I went to config monitor after install (logged in as root) and 
selected the monitor in my NOC where this box is going to live anyway.  
I then had to exit X and restart it for this selection to take.

It this point the resolution was 1280x1024 which was unreadable.  I 
changed it to 1024x768 which works well.

However at bootup and for the login screen the resolution is still 
1280x1024.  How do I change this?

The default /etc/X11/xorg.conf is to auto detect resolution.  You can
edit xorg.conf and add a modes line to the xorg.conf file (in the
"Display" subsection) like this:


         SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1024x768" "800x600"
"640x480"
        EndSubSection
