My resolution sometimes goes from 800x600 to 1024x768 (Prefurably 1024x768). I've rebooted a bazillion times to see if it would magically change my resolution back to the way it once was (1024x768). I was told that if I used ctrl shift + it would increase the resolution. Is this true? If not, are there other ways?

Well .. its most likely something that X is autodetecting incorrectly... look at your Xorg.conf .. particularly the monitor and card sections. Maybe post it here ?
Where would I find Xorg.conf o_O

What exactly am I looking for in xorg.conf.... This sucks, I had to stop x so I could refresh something and now everytime i startx its 800x600! I just keep stopping. starting. stopping. starting, still no luck :(
Attach your Xorg here... it would also be good to get the output of "lspci" (for your card) and make/model of your monitor (or at least its stats).. I'll give it a look over :)
Only showing the bits that I would alter :)
Code:
# eek was this bit badly pasted?
# or is that the way it really is?
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
# Needs more info!
EndSection
# my monitor section for comparison..
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "PHILIPS 190C"
HorizSync 30-83
VertRefresh 56-76
EndSection
# this is good.. maybe select r128 driver instead of
# ati (which it will probably do auto anyway)
Section "Device"

I did ask for you monitor specs.. they are really needed to fine tune the options..
Quote:OK, found the monitor specs
So now we know:
