I've been using XF86Setup for prototyping X86.  Go to /usr/X11/bin and run
XF86Setup and go through the steps, it sure beats xf86config.

Don't worry about the high resolution, start from a working screen and as
you experiences grow you'll be able to manually modify the
/etc/XF86Config file.

Good luck.  Eventually you probably want to try KDE interface.
