You should probably get the specs for your display and
then look at the 'modes' in /etc/X11/XF86Config You
might be able to tweak them. Oh, and have you tried
ctrl-alt +/- to change the resolution? It could be
that 640x480 is the default, but you can change it. 

I too have had trouble with getting this right. Still
seems like blind luck to me, but I'm told it's not.
