Stuck in 640x480

[Jerry Callen]

Could you please send a copy of /etc/X11/XF86Config to the list? I'm not
a guru, but I suspect that the "screen" section isn't quite right.
Note that XF86Config can have multiple screen sections, and you need
the right combination of monitor/device/driver/modeline to get it 
all to work.
