As a follow up, I checked my Xorg.0.log and when it mentioned the 1440x900 resolution, the log showed that the width was too big for the virtual size. So I guess the question now is how do I get the virtual size increased?
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
#
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"

Rep:
I realize this is an ANCIENT thread and that I'm crossposting, but I just lost -- literally -- days on this problem. I finally found a solution and I post this reply for people with the same problem I had who may find this thread. My issue was using Sabayon (though not OS specific) Linux with a Polaroid tla-01911c 19-inch HD television as a monitor attached via VGA cable to my nVidia GeForce 6200 NV44a AGP video card and not getting the proper set of resolutions available to the "monitor". Studying my /etc/var/Xorg.0.log showed me that the card could not get EDID info from the monitor. (Let's see how many more keywords I can add)
What I finally did was set a "modeline" (not just "modes" but actually "modeline") so that EDID info was not necessary. Turns out it's an ancient method that still works.
