Actually xvidtune only changes the timings, not the resolution. You
have to put the different resolutions in your XF86Config file, and
you should be able to change them with Ctrl-Alt-<keypad>+
But I've never tested that on non x86 because I don't have a non-x86
computer that I run X on that has more than one resolution!
