Altering the Screen Resolution
Often, after a clean installation, the screen resolution is wrong. To rectify the problem, boot up the Mepis LiveCD. At the GRUB menu screen hit F3 and choose the screen resolution you want. Boot up Mepis and go to system/Mepis/Mepis X-Window Assistant. Under the repair tab choose "destination" and "root partition" information. "Apply", "Ok" and then restart your machine
