Desktop Resolution

[ne0n]

Help me http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/confused.gif. I am a complete stranger to Linux - I have just installed Mandrake 7.1. I am using GNOME or Enlightenment desktops but I cannot change the resolution (its currently 640x480). I have tried using the program that changes it but with no luck.
Can someone write an very-easy to follow set of instructions to change my resolution to 800x600.

Help very much appr. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
