Why not use "xorgconfig" (if you installed xorg) or
"XF86Config (if you installed XFree86)
to configure the screen resolution
It can be set in the section:
400 Section "Screen"
401 Identifier "Screen 1"
402 Device "NVIDIA GeForce"
403 Monitor "My Monitor"
404 DefaultDepth 24
405
406 Subsection "Display"
407 Depth 8
408 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
409 ViewPort 0 0
410 EndSubsection
411 Subsection "Display"
412 Depth 16
413 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
414 ViewPort 0 0
415 EndSubsection
416 Subsection "Display"
417 Depth 24
418 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
419 ViewPort 0 0
420 EndSubsection
421 EndSection
Just remind the line 418..
Modes the first value :"1024x768" will set the screen resolution
and you can press the Ctrl + Alt + "+" and Ctrl + Alt + "-" to switch the
screen resolution
between this three value 1024x768/800x600/640x480.
