Thanks for the help.  Here's the final piece of info I needed to change the
resolution.  It sounds simple, but if you've been addicted to MS Applets to
change system settings, then it's not simple. . . 

in xconf or Xf86config . . . after configuring the video card . . .
Next, I do NOT want a Clockchip setting and I do NOT want it to run 'X
-probeonly'. (Some video cards need clocks.) The next section is where you
can change the modes (for your monitor) .
Some people select "The modes are are OK", But I prefer to go thru each
one. I start with "1 Change the modes for 8bpp" and then somthing like
"432". Then it asks if you want a virtual screen. (thats the little bit I
was missing).

:o)
