Screen resolution

Hi, Debian users.

I strongly suspect that my screen resolution is lower than it should be:
everything appears very big.
Is there a way to check up the real performed resolution?
And a way to make it be what it should?
When I run 'dpkg-reconfigure -pmedium xserver-xfree86',
the resolution displayed is never what I put: 1024×768.
I have Sarge 3.1 stable.

I got no help from the debian-laptop mailing list.
I hope someone can point me to the right way.

Thanks,
Rodolfo
