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.
