It just works for me, using the built-in VESA modes. Try removing all
the modeline statements from your monitor configuration or, if that
doesn't work, adding the 800x600 from the file
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/examples/vesamodes.gz

gvidm only presents a menu of the available resolutions; since I don't
have a keypad plus on my laptop, this is the only way I can switch
resolution.

Have a look at the X log file if using the VESA modes fails and see why
X doesn't like the mode.
