Thanks, I've used xdpyinfo | grep dimensions per Angelina's post and get :
lchata@ChatagnierL-Home:~$ xdpyinfo | grep dimensions
 dimensions:    800x600 pixels (282x212 millimeters)
lchata@ChatagnierL-Home:~$
When i run xvidtune:
Vendor: , Model:
Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1
hsync range 0:  28.00 -  50.00
vsync range 0:  43.00 -  75.00
Video are not settable on this chip
had to hit cntrl c to get prompt back
did a --help and read manual to see if I was missing something.  Doesn't 
seem to be.
I'm really at a lost here as in the past I could switch between all 
resolutions.
I'll try a lower color depth and get back.
