If you try to login on graphical display manager, you have to change
the config if it doesn't allow you to login as root. How you have to do
this of course depends on the login manager you use.
However, I would recomment not to login as root into a graphical
environment at all. The danger of damaging your system accidentially is
very high. Better login as a normal user and use su or sudo to gain
superuser privileges. If you want to start a X program as root, you can
use some program like kdesu (for KDE, I am sure there is something like
this for Gnome as well).

As far as I know, changing the resolution on the fly requires you to use
XFree 4.3. And I think only the latest beta of Gnome 2.4 has an option
in it's control center for doing this. But I may be wrong, I don't use
Gnome at all.
