I am curious, by what method do you know you are not at 1920x1200, and at what 
resolution you are really at ????
xdpyinfo???
It looks like, from your Xorg.0.log if I interpreted it correctly, that you 
should be in one of:
"1920x1200"x60.0
"1360x768"x59.8
"1360x768"x60.0
"1280x800"x60.0
"1152x864"x60.0
"1280x768"x60.0
"1280x720"x60.0
"1024x768"x60.0
"800x600"x60.3
"640x480"x59.9
