Hmm,

I thought there was a Xconfigurator and then there was xf86config what 
is this X-Config ?? Also as far as I know Linux doesnt select anything 
for anyone. Well to think of it neither does Xconfigurator or xf86config 
other than finding out the driver to be used. What they usually do is 
use the Video RAM available to calculate what all resolutions are 
possible. Unlike the windows display drivers which are aware of all the 
safe resolutions for your monitor Xconfigurator and xf86config can only 
suggest a good resolution for you. 640x480 is safe for all (SVGA 
capable) graphics card unless it is a VGA mono or some of those ancient 
hardware.

I would request the original poster to let us know which distribution he 
is using and what did he use to select his resolution. We would be 
better placed to answer his query after that.
