Gnome resolution ok, Enlightenment not ok


My xorg.conf seems to be perfectly ok since my gnome desktop delivers a 1152x864 resolution and it's perfect for my eyes. However when i switch to enlightenment, the screen appears big (i mean i have to use the mouse to scroll to the next screen to reach the end of the desktop). Why is this happening? If i use the ctrl-alt-+/- the resolution is either very low or else too big which hurts my eyes. I can't seem to get this right..

Part of my xorg.conf:

Code:
DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           1
                Modes           "1152x864" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
(the same for all depths)

any help is greatly appereciated.

I managed to sort it by removing all the resolutions in the xorg.conf except the one i wanted...so i sort of forced it to use that resolution.
