How?!

I have installed it, but cannot reconfigure it without going through the ENTIRE configuration scheme. All I want to reconfigure is the screen resolution!

Have set up KDE, but it locks up after just a few clicks, and I can't even get out of it to the command line!

Thanks in advance!

If it locks up again try pressing Ctrt+Alt+backspace.

That might drop you into a command prompt. To change your resolution, edit your X config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4). Go down to the 'Screens' section and change the 'Modes' to whatever you want. The 'DefaultDepth' specifys which section is used by default (the one you want to change).
You should really use xf86config to make a new config file, but that will ask you about all the other options as well, not just resolution.

There is probably an easier, Mandrake way, of doing this, but I don't know it.
