Hello,
I have had fun with the video card stuff as well! One thing, you might
not be able to get more than 16 colors because of your monitor! You can
make the words and stuff smaller by changing the resolution. You can do
this by holding down control, alt, and '+'. Try this, either that or run
xconfigurator again and choose some higher resolutions!
