Good point about not being able to RANDR up, however you can
system-config-display up. If your display blanks out due to high
resolution, you can't RANDR down, system-config-display, or for most,
use said machine to get online assistance. If th display blanks out,
the text make be too small for some to read and navigate to a tool the
know nothing about called RANDR (maybe it has a better name in the
Gnome menu)
