To change the resolution in CentOS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the terminal and log in as the root user or a user with sudo permissions.
  2. Edit the Xorg configuration file using the following command:
  3. Edit the xorg.conf file located at /etc/X11/ using the sudo command and vi editor.
  4. Locate the “Screen” section in the file and add the following two lines:
  5. Subsection titled “Display” with Modes set to “Resolution” in the end.
  6. Replace the “resolution” with the resolution you wish to set, for example “1280×1024”.
  7. Save and close the file.
  8. You can restart the X Window system by logging out and logging back in or by restarting the computer.

Please note that if you have a newer version of CentOS, you may need to use files in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory to configure Xorg, instead of editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file directly. In this case, you can create a new configuration file in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory and add the content from the above steps to that file.
