gvidm is a GTK app to quickly and easily change video resolutions in X.

GVidChanger-minimal (gvidm) is a GTK app to quickly and easily change video resolutions in X. Running it will pop up a list of available modes; upon choosing a mode or cancelling, it exits. If you are running dual or multi-head displays, it will give you a list of screens so you can select the appropriate one.

You can also specify on the command line a mode to switch to immediately, or a list of modes to choose from. It supports both XVidMode(for "zooming") and XRandR (for changing the screen size as well as the resolution.)

Requirements:
GTK 1.2 or 2.x
an X server supporting the XVidMode and/or XRandR extensions.

What's New in This Release:
Add support for GTK 2.0.
The default is to build for GTK 2.0 if it is present, specify configure --with-gtk1 if you want to force building with GTK 1.x.
Fix build when xf86Parser.h isn't present. (Though interlaced or doublescan modes may show wrong refresh rates then.)
Fix showing incorrect refresh rates for interlaced modes.
