Question : Screen resolution limited in GNOME

Hi,
I'm using Red Hat Enterprise 5.1 with Gnome 2.16 as a VMWare server.  When I go into screen resolution options, it only gives me 640x480 or 800x600 as options.  However, some applications like Logical Volume Management require larger screen resolutions.

I did some google research and people are saying to modify the xorg.conf file, however I cannot locate this file, and I'm not even sure if this will work.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?  I have only been using Linux for a couple weeks, so please bear with me.

Thanks,
Jamie

Drivers are different than the vmware tool box.

Since the linux is a VM, does it really need to run in graphical mode? And who will be accessing it in this fashion?  I think it is setup to run as a server where graphical mode is using up resources unnecessarily. i.e. usually access into the system will be via SSH rather than through the vmware console.
