And I'd like to change existing resolutions quickly and easily.
This has always been easy to do, at least for as long as I have used Linux. <ctrl><alt><+> or <ctrl><alt><-> The issue I have is that be default it will create a 640x480 screen, then 800x600, then 1024x768. If you can't get anything else to work 640x480 will allow you to do most everything, but I'd like to be able to install X and get it running at the resolution I choose or higher, not lower. For years there was no way to do this without hacking the config files. I seem to remember at least one install I had recently allowed me to at least remove the lower resolutions, but I could just be dreaming. I know my current desktop has the 640 and 800 options in the X files. I've been to lazy to go and edit them out.
Glad you got your video working again. Hopefully you have the changed config file someplace so you can do a "diff" on the original and changed to see what might have been the offending line(s)?
