On my RedHat 9.0 installation (using KDE), I select "System Settings" from the system menu (click the RedHat logo at the bottom-left of the screen); then select "Display". If you are not logged in as root (you shouldn't be), then you will be prompted for the root password. Enter this, and a few moments later a dialog appears with screen parameters on it. If I change the resolution here, and logout and back in, the resolution is now the new value that I set in the dialog. Hope this helps, Cheers!
