I am not sure what happened when you tried. But normally when you
run Xconfigurator and the monitor is recognized you get a chance to
choose your resolution. For high resolution you need high enough
scan rates and enough video memory.
If your monitor is not recognized but you know its specifications
and that of your video adapter you can use xf86cfg or xf86config.
For some video devices it is easy and automatic for others one has
to work at it a little harder.
