I use the Gnome desktop, and to make changes to screen resolution get to a command window and type Xconfigurator , thisshould start a step by step tool for GUI changes. You do need root privilages to run it though.

If you have more than one resolution set up in your XF86Config you can switch between the modes with ctrl, alt and + or - on your numeric keypad.
