Monitor display settings in GNOME

Here's a good one....
I've installed a dual boot Win98SE/R.H.6.1 on an AMD 600 using GNOME as the desktop manager for Linux. Nowhere can I find a menu to change the display settings of my monitor. Right now, it's far too high a resolution to use (makes my eyes bleed).
I just want to lower the screen resolution from super-enviously-disgustingly-painfully high to something more reasonable. Any clues?

try "Control" + "Alt" + "+" or "Control" + "Alt" +"-" to see if you can change you resolution.

If that does not work run XF86config at a prompt.

Run "Xconfigurator" , without qoutes, from the command and choose the settings you want. Make sure X is in caps.
