Well, where this file is will depend on your distribution of linux, but the
file you want to find is called "XF86Config".  Use 'locate XF86Config' to find
it quickly (hopefully).

After that, you'll have to read the file.  Down towards the bottom, you'll see
a lot of "Screen" sections.  Change the order that resolutions appear in there
(you'll see them appear multiple times, for each number of bitplanes).

That's really it.
