I recently upgraded to XFree 4.0, and after a little help and a bit of
experimentation I've managed to get the bloody thing to start my monitor
in the right resoultion....

but could someone do me a favor and tell me how to change the settings
so that it will stop having a physical res of 1024x768 and a desktop
that's drawn to1280x1024?

My monitor can do that resoultion.

but I prefer 1024x768.......  I can see the refresh rate at higher
resolutions and that annoys the hell outta me.
