CTRL-ALT-+ (that's + from the numeric keypad) cycles through
resolutions. Unfortunately the default configuration starts in the
lowest resolution, so you need to press CTRL-ALT-+ a few times. If
you wish you can delete the other resolutions as suggested above, but
I just changed the order of the resolutions in the "Modes" line(s) to
give the desired resolution first.
