Copy and paste this into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Put it just after the "Device Section"
And change the "1024x768" to the settings you want, be sure you leave the
"   " there when you change the setting you want.




Section "Screen"
     Identifier "Screen0"
     Device     "Videocard0"
     Monitor    "Monitor0"
     DefaultDepth     24
     SubSection "Display"
         Viewport   0 0
         Depth     24
         Modes    "1024x768"
     EndSubSection
EndSection
