        Modes    "640x480 at 60"

That is what  you are going to get resolution wise.

Save the file:

"sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.save"
then delete it
"sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Then run your xorg.conf configuration program and click the save to 
xorg.conf button.

This xorg.conf file was created as a result of  your hitting configure 
when you got these three options

Alternatively, you can edit your xorg.conf file:
"sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"  (save it first).

Put something like this in:
