Please provide more info (kernel image mainly), so we are able to help you better.
Assuming you are running kernel-image 2.6.* you have the Xorg libraries (standard under Etch).
A simple dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will (hopefully) do the trick. An interactive screen will pop-up, let the PC autodetect you settings and when it comes to choosing resolustions for your screen press the space-bar to select the ones you need/want from the list.
Let us know if you have further questions.
Cheers

One more thing. You could try xrandr to see if the resolutions are available to you (already). If not follow the above.
Cheers
