======= Change The Resolution =======

=====Quick and Dirty =====
Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+t

  $ xrandr -s 1280x1024

Just change the resolution to your desired resolution. Some resolution can't be applied, so you need to make sure the resolution is supported by your hardware.

**Notes:**
  * This is just for that session only, you need to reconfigure the resolution again after reboot or shutdown
  * xandr is only present after you go through the Updater Beta


====Try this on Asus machines====

<code>$ xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x800</code>

===== Proper and Permanently (from another OS)=====
Change the res in the xorg.conf file, this can be don be pluging you Pendrive or SD card in to a pc running linux and editing it.

This example is for a Asus EEEPC 700
<code>
Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "Monitor"
  HorizSync 30-40
  VertRefresh 50-75
  VendorName "ASUS"
  ModelName "eeePC P700"
  Modeline "800x480"  29.58  800 816 896 992  480 481 484 497  -HSync +Vsync # 60 Hz
EndSection
</code>

===== Proper and Permanently (from ChromeOS) =====
First, you must gain read/write access to Chrome OS by using the [[http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/openbeta.php|Updater Open Beta]]. The updater will also install the nano editor and xrandr for you.
After that, test which of these two commands properly change the resolution (replace 800x480 with your resolution)
<code>xrandr -s 800x480</code>
<code>xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 800x480</code>
Now do <code>sudo su</code> and input "facepunch" as password.
Then do <code>nano /etc/X11/chromeos-xsession</code>
This will open the script that is run by SLiM after login. \\ \\
Before the <code>exec "${WM}"                                          \</code>line, add either<code>/usr/bin/xrandr -s 800x480</code>or<code>/usr/bin/xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 800x480</code>depending on which of these worked for you before. Replace 800x480 with your resolution, of course.
Then do <code>reboot</code>and login as normally. Chrome OS should switch to the new resolution after login (the login screen will remain at the old resolution). (**Andy C.**)
