I installed X 4.0.1 on Toshiba M500 (PIII500, 64 megs) w/ a Nvidia "Riva Vanta" video card.
Everything works, but it's default resolution is so big it doesn't fit everything (KDE) on the screen.

Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus or Minus does not work for changing
resolutions.

The KDE control panel defines the X-server running at:

    screen #0
        dimensions  :640x480 pixels (262x203..can't fit the rest onscreen)
        resolution  :62x60 dots per inch
        depths  (1) :8


How can I increase the resolution so everything will fit onscreen?

I checked out my XFConfig-4 file and it doesn't show any resolutions, which makes me
think that as a result it defaults to the lowest possible resolution.

Here is my XFConfig-4 file:
