Try Ctrl-Alt-[+] ... using the + from the number pad.

Now, if you edit the conf file you will see a screen section. Find the display with the depth you want and add the resolutions you want (the default one will be the first listed).
Code:
SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
Also, near the top of the screen section, (under Monitor) add the line
Code:
DefaultDepth 24
or whatever you want the default to be.

SWEET!

the glitch was DefaultDepth 24
it just did not like that so i made sure Depth 24 was in the screen section with my resolutions.

Thanks!
