According to the "Running Linux" book you should be able to make it work
simply by specifying your preferred resolution first in the
"/etc/"X11/XF86Config" file.  For example, if I prefer 1024x768, it would
be:

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600" "1280x1024"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection


Only problem is I never saw it work right in Red Hat Linux 6.x, for 
instance.  As far as I can remember, Debian does this in a much better
way since there is a "default" line in the same XF86Config file where
you can specify your preferred default resolution.
