I was just playing around my screen resolution using the SAS.  I was at 1024x768,
now my only options are 800x600 and lower.  I never touched the video card settings
or changed the monitor.  Is there a way to manually edit some config file and get
back to 1024x768?

My research indicates that the IBM G40's maximum resolution is 800x600.  This site can give you all of the technical specs on the G40:  http://www.griffintechnology.com/monitors/IBM24.html.

1024x768 is not an available resolution (in SAS) because the monitor's default max resolution is 800x600.

As has been previously mentioned, you can edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config file (using your favorite text editor) and manually add 1024x768 to your "modes" lines, this will force a resolution of 1024x768 (though I don't recommend exceeding your monitor's max resolution)
