The default /etc/X11/xorg.conf is to auto detect resolution.  You can
edit xorg.conf and add a modes line to the xorg.conf file (in the
"Display" subsection) like this:


         SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
