It's still a pain, but if you find a resolution you like, create a file
called "autoexec.cfg" in the quake directory.  This file should only
contain one line: "vid_mode x", where x is the number of the video mode you
want to use.

The tech document talks about a command switch "+exec <filename.cfg>", but
that didn't seem to work.  Using the Autoexec.cfg file is easier, anyway.
