Unfortunatly, from what I can tell, -configure just creates a config file based on your hw configuration, and does not ask basic stuff as "what resolution do you want". :) I had a big pain configuring my machine to run on 800x600 instead of 640x480. I had to dig out my old mode lines from my old config to make it work. :( Ouch. I really, really, really miss XF86Setup. Really. A. Thomas T.
