Im am having some trouble getting the Screen Resolution to be 1024x768 its currently 800x640.

I tried editing this file
/etc/X11/XF86Config

This is what it currently is

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection

(the bit i edited)

I don't know if it is renamed, but Redhat 9 had a tool
redhat-config-xfee86

isn't it a /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ? if so, it is the file you have to edit.
i may be wrong, but i think that XF86Config was for XFree 3.x versions but it's still present in most distros.
