You have to have multiple resolutions defined in your XF86Config file. If you have more than one resolution defined there, you can use ctrl alt +/- to cycle between them.

Editing the XF86Config file by hand is kinda nasty, so there are programs that can do it for you -- xf86config, XF86Setup, Xconfigurator, etc.

Be sure you back up your existing XF86Config file before you go messing with it.
