While in X if you use the keycombo

ctrl-alt-+

it will cycle available video modes. Use the + on the numeric keypad. If this doesn't work then try a generic monitor setting with the video mode that you monitor can handle. You can also set your monitors resolution manually in Xconfigurator. Although I did have this a similar problem with an AGP video card, when I tried to re-set the resolution I would get thrown into a resoultion lower than 640X480 I think it may have been 200X100 my mouse cursor took up about a quater of my screen. Nothing I tried would get me into a higher resolution. Since it was a fresh install I decided to re-install and keep the 800X600 mode even though the monitor was capable of 1024X728. If your video card is AGP you might want to increase your shared memory.
