Change Screen Resolution in Debian

Hello,
I'm currently running Debian, with Xfree86 on it, and cannot change my screen resolution. When i had installed it, i did not select the right resolution, and am wondering how to change this. I've also heard that you can hit Ctrl+Alt+ the (+,-) arows on the key board, to change the resolution, but I do not know how and when to do that.
Can anyone help? Please.
Thanks

Edit

If anyone cannot help me on this, then can anyone give me steps to reconfigure my xfree86, so it can make the resolution higher. It is currently set at, 640*480.
Thanks.
