[newbie] cant seem to get right resolution.

I can only get the X server to work at 800x600 at 8 bit colour. When i try
to do *anything*, the screen is too small to show all the buttons, and a lot
of times, the screen cant show Apply and OK buttons, making it very hard to
change settings. I know i can TAB through them, but still this proves
difficult. HOw can i get X to work in something like 1024x768? All i get is
a black screen... and I cant use Xf86Setup either. when i type that in, i
get a invallid command error.

Thank you
Jerrud
