[wellylug] X screen resolution

[Nick Jensen]

Ah - I didn't realise the driver affected the resolution (obvious I suppose, 
but it's pretty confusing working out what does what in all these config 
files). I'm using the mga driver that running "XFree86 -configure" chose for 
me. I'll give the vesa one a try, thanks (I think that's what I used for 
Slackware, and it worked well).
