1. make sure the right resolutions are listed in your
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, in the "Screen" section you should have
something like this for each colour depth:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
your preferred resolution should come first.
2. start X, it should come up in 1024x768. if not, your video card or
monitor frequencies aren't configured right
3. you can zoom in and out with ctrl-alt-keypad_plus and
ctrl-alt-keypad_minus. This isn't proper resizing, though.
4. there is a program called "xrandr" which can resize the display
properly, and even rotate it, I can't get it to work at the moment.
I think there's some GUI to do it in gnome too.
