Got it. My monitor type during the install defaulted to unprobed. I now
set it to "Generic Laptop Monitor 1024x768" and was able to change the
resolution. Seems kinda obvious in hindsight.
Thanks.

Iirc, Ctrl+Alt+[Plus/minus] will cycle through the configurations that
your /etc/X11/XF86Config file knows about and finds to be valid. There
could be other problems preventing you from getting all your available
modes though.
I have an older thinkpad that's only capable of 800x600 - what model is
your thinkpad/how old?
