I set, using XF86Config, my monitor's resolution to 1280X720, and it seems to set the res to what looks like 320X120. I could really use some help with this.

1024x768 and 1280x1024 are standard resolution settings ... try those settings.

Oops, I typed the wrong settings. It was set for 1280X1024, not 1280x720. I had no idea that xf86config could be so annoying..........
