Graphics Settings
Resolution:
0x0 is the resolution it is a byte. Its ordered in lowest resolution (640 x 480) to highest resolution of your monitor. This is probably the most simplest, but complex setting in this list.
Example: 0 = 640 x 480 1 = 800 x 600
and the rest of the values you'll have to pull from the monitor.
