Some distros allow you to change the resolution using the KDE Control Center.

If you don't have that option, try

ctrl-alt-(keypad) + or -

If that doesn't work, you may need to reconfigure X and add the necessary resolutions.

xf86config
xf86cfg

You can try to run Xconfigurator in your current X by running
/usr/sbin/setup

Or, more drastic, do this...

cp /etc/innittab /etc/inittab_orig
pico /etc/innitab

change the line that looks like this...

id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:

Restart and you will come up without X starting automatically. Log into the console and run Xconfigurator. At the end of the configure, it will ask if you want X to start automatically on startup. Reselect yes, if that is what you prefer (I don't). When back at the console, just enter startx.
