Justin,
check your /etc/X11/XF86Config
you should have atleast one section like this:
Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
Device "Device[0]"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[0]"
EndSection
The line that says modes is the one that says what resolutions you can
do (and the order....) This one starts x with 1280x1024 If I wanted it
to only do 1024, 800, 640, Id remove the "1280x1024"
You dont need modelines in X anymore (X 4 atlest) but you can use them
if you want.
