First, I assume that X is configured for the resolutions and that your
video card and monitor support them.

If you are sure that is the case, the easiest way is to toggle through
the resolutions using the Ctrl&Alt&{num pad}+ key combination.

You can also right-click on the desktop and choose Configure Desktop
from the context menu.  The bottom tab of the dialog allows you to set
the default screen resolution.

Your comment that "the screen wigs out", however, leads me to believe
that you are attempting a resolution/refresh rate combo that your
hardware does not support.
