Tried XF86Setup...didn`t help too much.

Screen Res Toggle? Didn`t even know that existed, but that`s probably
what I want to try and setup.

ALL I NEED IS 1024x768 AT 32bpp, AND 800x600 AT 32bpp FOR THE TV CARD.
(Oh, and whatever gdm requires for the login screen).

That I can toggle between somehow.

I tried playing with XF86Setup, and all I managed to do is cause a load
of problems (including a whole load of hassle with the mouse and
keyboard...).

Is there a way I can just shove a few lines into my XF86Config file,
and not rely on all the crap that these setup programs want to add?
