In your XF86Config-4 file, there should be a Section "Screen", which has
a Subsection "Display", which has a Modes line... here you might see
"1200x1600", and can add the other resolutions you wish to switch to
(ctrl-alt-keypad-plus/minus as you tried) or replace it wholesale with
something preferable.
Incidentally, I'm using RedHat 7.3 with XFree 4.2.0 and kernel 2.4.18.

best of luck,
