Problems with monitor resolutions

[Chris Alden]

During the installation program of YDL 2.0 I was
presented with a list of monitor resolutions I wished
to be supported on my machine.  I selected nothing
higher than 800x600.  But when I booted into KDE and
Gnome, I realized that I was in 1024x768 mode using
thousands of colors.  So, I went to the console and
typed fbset -yres 800 -xres 600... and then the screen
went black.  My question is... how do I get into
800x600 on my iMac?  Is it because I had thousands of
colors enabled?  Is that too many for 800x600?  I had
millions of colors on the MacOS partition.  Would that
effect the Linux side?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks.
