maybe 800x600 is your default resolution? Maybe try running your configuration script again, but choosing 1024x768 as the default resolution?

Go to the above site and try the tips provided. I had the same problem with RH9 in KDE. One preson sited the horizontal refresh rate. Another noted that if you setup for a generic video, you'll be locked in at 800x600 and need to run the configure settings.
