You can edit the XF86config (or XF86Config-4) file in /etc/X11 through
vi, vi, vim, vi, pico, joe or emacs, and set your default resolution to
640x480 in the screen section. Select the subscreensection with the proper
pixels you intend to use and remove all the other resolution options
(better: copy the line, comment it out and modify the original line, for
easier backout).
