On my Slackware 14.1 Linux system I use the
xrandr program. Here are my variants:
xrandr1024 
xrandr1920  
xrandr640  
xrandr800
and here is the text for xrandr1024, my usual one:

xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1024x768 --fb
1920x1080 --panning 1920x1080

Your use will have different parameters depending
on your equipment. Use
xrandr
without any parameters to find out what is
possible on your system.
