I have actually tried that a few days ago, running 915resolution from
rc.securelevel like pkg/DESCR says with no positive effect. 

I didn't know which mode to change, so I even booted my system at
securelevel -1 and manually set every mode to 1680 1050 mode with
absolutely no effect (other than changing those Mode outputs in
Xorg.log).

Just now I changed mode 4d to 1680x1050 and restarted X. My display is
now running 1280x1024@56Hz .. showing a massive, unscrollable 1680x1050
desktop.  This message is hence cramped and insanely hard to read while
I type :)

tori$ sudo 915resolution -l | grep 4d
Mode 4d : 1680x1050, 16 bits/pixel
tori$ xwininfo -root | grep geometry
  -geometry 1680x1050+0+0


Any more suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
