If you have more than one resolution listed in the 'Modes' line in your
xorg.conf file (and the Monitor and Device settings support them), you
should be able to hit ctl-alt-plus (the on the number pad) or
ctl-alt-minus to switch among them. I'm not sure if the GUI setup
can deal with alternate monitors - you'll probably have to configure
with the one with the highest resolution, then add the other
resolution to the file yourself, putting the default you want first.
