You won't have any problems at all with that monitor. The Xconfigurator
tool even knows what an AcerView 11D is! Just choose that monitor, and
you'll be all set.
As for 800x600, X is nice, but it's not a miracle worker! I would imagine
that the limiting factor is probably the monitor -- it just won't go any
higher. So, you'll probably be stuck at 640x480.

I'm not familiar with the wheel-mice, but I know others on this list are
using them. Hopefully, someone will pop-up with a quick answer.
Good luck!
