Go here in your xorg.conf file and change the first mode resolution
to whatever you want it to be. Like mine is "1280x1024" make your
first line "1024x768"

If that doesn't do it, sorry. That's the way I do it. Your machine
may vary.




Section "Screen"

# If your card can handle it, a higher default color depth (like 24
or 32) # is highly recommended.
#   DefaultDepth 8
#   DefaultDepth 16
#   DefaultDepth 32
# "1024x768" is also a conservative usable default resolution.  If you
# have a better monitor, feel free to try resolutions such as
# "1152x864", "1280x1024", "1600x1200", and "1800x1400" (or whatever
your # card/monitor can produce)
    Identifier     "Screen 1"
    Device         "VESA Framebuffer"
    Monitor        "My Monitor"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes      "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes      "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       32
        Modes      "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
