Can't get resolution above 800x600 (16MB NVidia Riva TNT)

I am running SimplyMEPIS 6.0 (mode: for older computers) on a Dell XPS T450, dualbooting with Windows 98SE. When I go to the desktop configure window and click on display I can't get it to show anything above 800x600. I have tried configuring my monitor properties and drivers, I can't find xconf, and I can't find the xorgconfig. PLEASE HELP!

P.S. I can get above 800x600 in windows.

Look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I'm not familiar with SimplyMEPIS, but xorg.conf is usually found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or somewhere in that neighborhood. And as I'm typing this, comprookie2000 beats me to the response...

Thanks for the help guys! I did find xorg.conf and edited it. And now I'm in 1024x768!:D :D :D Thanks again!
