I'm assuming that there are some NAT, firewall, or dynamic IP issues
that keep you from SSHing in to look at the conf yourself? ("I edited
the conf file remotely. Log out, hit ctrl+alt+backspace, log in again,
and see if you can select a higher resolution now.")

/me is no longer in the north bay, either. :-(
