Check: /var/log/XFree86.0.log for error messages
Then edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (without -4 if you use the old X11).
I guess you don't have any other screen modes defined there:
Section "Screen"
[...]
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
Does it on my i386 box. I have no working X11 on my Amiga, but I think there
Mode was "default"? That uses the resolution which is set when you boot (not
necessarily by MacOS, maybe by your boot options). I obviously know nothing
about macs, you might have to buy a goat first to make it work...
But then there is always fbset which might help here.
