X/BASH Resolution Problem

[chicobob]

My resolution in X is way too big, I am unable to change it due to the fact I cant fit a single window on the screen. Is there any way to change resolution from the BASH. I am totally new to this - just installed last night. Please help.
Also, In case it helps I am using Linux-Mandrake 6.5

edit /etc/X11/XF86Config (i assume its there thats an old *** version) the section that looks like this.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "NeoMagic (laptop/notebook)"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection


Make note of default of the DefaultDepth at the top also.
