Re-visiting install / setup.

I think the command you are referring to is "base-config", but if you
just want to fix the available display resolutions, you can run

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

if you installed warty. (I haven't installed hoary, but I assume you
would just change "xserver-xfree86" to something like "xserver-xorg".) 
This will step you through all the X configuration stuff.  Don't change
anything except the display resolutions.  Then restart X
(ctrl-alt-backspace is one way to restart it).
