Look into XF86Config file (either under /etc/ or /usr/lib/X11, depending on
utility you've created it with). 

Section "Screen" in the bottom of the file should look like


Section "Screen"
    Driver "vga256"
    Device "RandomDevice-0"
    Monitor "RandomMonitor-0"
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 8
        Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
#       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        ViewPort 0 0
        Virtual 1024 768
    EndSubsection
EndSection

The 'Modes' line is what defines resolutions (Ctrl+Alt+(grey + or -) switch
between them). Of course, you should have definitions of the modes in the 
Section "Monitor" above.
 
If you want the entire config file (WD90c31 & SyncMaster 17GLs), drop me a
message.

BTW, which chipset is on your card? WD90c33? I want to change my current ATI
Mach32 to Paradise wd90c33, but my dealer says that these cards being no longer
brought to Israel...
