Russel, Why vi? Can't you just use emacs? ;-)
su - cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.OLD (you never know) open /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 with your fav editor. look for Section "Screen", and for each SubSection "Display", change the Modes lines with your monitor value (i.e. "800x600") I used Ctrl-Alt- Keypad +/- under KDE on a PeeSee to switch resolutions on the fly. I don't know if this will work for you. YMMV.
