[GLLUG] changing X-windows screen resolution on a laptop

Hello!

I've had a lot of fun installing Linux on my generic laptop, and have kind of 
a dumb question. Xwindows allows one to change resolution by hitting 
Ctrl-Alt-+ -- this works fine on my desktop box. However, the plus and minus 
keys are on the keypad... which my laptop lacks! After some googling has left 
me high and dry, I thought I'd check with you guys for the answer.

Thanks in advance,

Ashton
