You get used to it after a while.  Keep trying.

It might help to keep a written record of the choices
you make.

Lucky you.  My very best monitor goes no higher than 
800x600 (which is why you never see a higher setting 
than 800x600 in any of the config files I do).

As I said before, that config file is simply the one
that works for me.  I won't be including any config
file that I haven't tested myself.  I expect most
people will be creating their own config files 
(using xf86config or XF86Setup or whatever).

As I said before, the easy option is Xvesa.  If you
want something better, you need to do a bit of work.

Cheers,
