When you start xwindows, try pushing control/alt/+ at the same time. That is the kb shortcut to turning the res up. If that dosen't work, try running xconf from the command prompt and try setting the resolution a little bit higher and/or try using the generic monitor setting. I have problems with xwindows working right when i installed, but after i ran xconf again, it worked right. Just remember, YOU CAN SMOKE YOUR MONITOR IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL!!!!!! if you startx and your screen looks wierd hit control/alt/bkspace quick to exit out of xwindows and run xconf again. You might have to do it more than once before you get it right.
