Most of the time you can use Ctrl-Alt-KeypadMinus and Ctrl-Alt-KeypadPlus to change resolution on the fly. Try it now, it's fun and it wont screw the system up. If one of them works you can use that to run XFDrake, or edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and remove the offending resolutions, or just move them elsewhere in the list. -- Richard Urwin
