the 1600x1200 is the default. You can use Ctrl+Alt+Keypad+ or Keypad- to
swich to the alternatives.
Make sure you have apropriate entries in the Monitor section for the
resolutions.
Try running XF86Setup or xf86Config to setup this stuff pretty much
automatically
I recommend doing some more reading on the subject, because it's beyond
the scope of what I feel like teaching.
