How to set screen's resolution


I have a Debian distro 3.0 r1 with XFree86 version 4.1.0.1
I want to set the resolution to 1024x768 while the default is 640x480. I changed the resolution in the xfree86-4.cfg file but nothing!!! How can I set the resolution??? Thanks.

Thanks. But the dpkg-reconfigure command modify my configuration only if I run it in the graphic interface, not in the console. I don't know why, it's strange!
