This question has been asked quite a few times. Chances are it'll be answered before I submit this post.

Search man search.

Anyways, have you tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include the resolutions you require? If you haven't, try it.


vxc

If you have an Intel 915 chip set or above, install the 915 resolution package. Or if you have on board video, you may not have enough memory allocated to support 'depth 24', if your /etc/xorg.conf has a default depth of 24, try changing it to 16. If all else fails, you can go through a step by step re-configuration to include proper monitor sync rates and refresh rates. Get a hold of the specs for the monitor from manufacturer on-line and start configuration from command line with this command:
Code:
system-config-display --reconfigure
There will also be a step for setting default resolution.
