The two main apps that I know of to set up X colors and dimensions are 
xf86config and XF86Setup. xf86config is an unforgiving terminal app, but 
once you get good at it, it's also very fast and efficient. XF86Setup is a 
GUI setup tool that requires that the VGA driver be installed.

I think they're both installed with X.
