thanks.

rerun the xf86config, do it slowly, u will be ok. Prepared your vga card and monitor information beforehand though. For monitor it is the vsync and hsync range, max supportable resolution. VGA will be the chipsets(ATI/ Nvidia/S3/) & memory of the card. There is no back button in xf86config, so if u missed one step, u have to redo it from the beginning.

btw, the 640x480 thingy could be due to the limitation of your hw, like an old monitor and old vga card. My 2 yrs old Philips 17" and a Nvidia FX5200 run fine in X. And I default it to 1024X768. Cheers.
