Try, as root user in the konsole, entering the command:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
or, if this does not work, it may be
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
This will give you an opportunity to change your resolution to
1024x768.
As others have suggested, you may wish to install Etch (aka testing)
instead of Sarge, given that Sarge is older.
