In your xorg.conf, comment out hoiz and vert settings for monitor, and
resolution options for device:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "LCD Panel 1400x1050"
DisplaySize 370 300
# HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0
# VertRefresh 59.0 - 75.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
# Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
# Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600"
"640x480"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
# Modes "1400x1050" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x1024"
"1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
See the lines I commented out? if you do the same, X will detect your
monitor and your card and find the best resolution as provided by the
hardware.
