    You need to get to the System Administration Display and provide 
your root pass word. When it comes up if you can't get the size you want 
go to the hardware tab and see what the system has for your VGA plugin 
and your monitor. Make sure the monitor shows a capability for at least 
what you want.

    Now you should be able to select the proper size and your set up.
