Wayne: If, at the color depth you're using, the first resolution in the list is 800x600, but another one is 1024x768, it'll run XWindows in 800x600 with a virtual screen of 1024x768. The biggest resolution in the list becomes the virtual screen size, and the first is default actual size.
I'd just do it by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config -- the lines are near the bottom, under the "Screen" sections.
