    To expand on the above, I've edited xorg.conf to include "1024x768" on every line that may apply.
    It's still stubbornly stuck at 640x480.

    What have I missed?

    What distro are you using, and what video drivers? “User friendly” distros like Noobuntu Ubuntu tend to ignore xorg.conf. If you are using NVIDIA drivers try running nvidia-xconfig and setting the resolution in there.
