parsix does offer a screen resolution during install or in live cd mode.so it will be better or else create another menu to boot into some other resolutions than standard.wide screen and they should start from
800*600(normal) at different refresh rate 60-70-72-75-85hz
1024*768(normal) at different refresh rate 60-70-72-75-85hz for CRT these are most preferred
below are most usual lcd monitor resolutions
* 14-15": 1024x768 (XGA)
* 17-19": 1280x1024 (SXGA)
* 20"+: 1600x1200 (UXGA)
* 17" (Widescreen): 1280x800 (WXGA)
* 19" (Widescreen): 1440x900 (WXGA+)
* 20" (Widescreen): 1680x1050 (WSXGA+)
* 24" (Widescreen): 1920x1200 (WUXGA)
* 30" (Widescreen): 2560x1600
if above screen resolutions can work then work is done for 95% of monitors

1 option to choose your resolution is better, menu space is limited

I think it would be quite useful to have at least all the mentioned resolutions available for selection. On my Dell E6400 notebook, I had to enter the ModeLine for WXGA+ manually.
