I installed Xandros 3.0. Immediately after I logged in I changed the
display resolution to a unsupported value. I have "out of range" message
now. I know there must be a command line to change to a safe value, but
I can't find any reference probably it's so basic, nobody's talking
about that. I assume I can log into console or something and adjust the
value back.

I would appreciate any help.

I note that Xandros 3 comes with X Windows System 6.9.0. That is X.org,
so the correct command is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.
