You can try and edit the XF86Config file in the /etc/Xfree86 directory.
TOwards the end of the document change the entries of "640 480" to "800
600". That should produce the desired result.

Even my graphics card ( SiS 6326 ) was also configured ina breeze & I have
the whole system up & running. Even LILO was configured automatically for
Linux & WINNT 4.0
