I'm afraid that you need to edit the file /etc/x11/xorg.conf with an editor, 
not Konqueror, as described; then save the file.  The section should  appear 
something like this:  (Your "Device" being different of course ;-) )

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"S3 Inc. VT8636A [ProSavage KN133] AGP4X VGA Controller (TwisterK)"
	Monitor		"Generic Monitor"
	DefaultDepth	16
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		1
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
