Xfce not displaying with correct resolution
I have frequently installed xfce on both linux and freebsd machines, but something thathappens frequently is that the resolution of the display is not detected correctly. For instance on a 22 inch screen, the display is still 800x600 pixels. Similar things happen for 20 inch displays. The preferences options do not give me the choice to increase the resolution as a result of which the entire desktop looks far too much zoomed in, so to say. Where do I start to look to correct this?

NAME

       xfce4-power-manager-settings - Settings dialog for the Xfce 4 Power manager

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-power-manager-settings [options]

DESCRIPTION

       xfce4-power-manager-settings  is  a  utility  that comes with the Xfce4 power manager to access/change its configuration.  It is a separate
       program that uses xfconf to load/save settings according to the user's choices.	xfce4-power-manager-settings requires the Xfce4 power man-
       ager  to  be  running  because it connects to it via DBus and gets information about which settings should and should not be displayed; for
       example,  the xfce4-power-manager-settings utility will not show the LCD brightness settings if no  device  was	detected  by  the  running
       instance of the Xfce4 power manager.
	xfce4-power-manager-settings does not have any command line options.
