Yes ... there are 2 places to set this, one is controlled by the resolution setting the other is controlled by the Display setting. They are at "System => Preferences => Screen Resolution" and "System => Administration => Display" in the Main Menu.

I had an identical problem at work yesterday with a brand new Samsung 2243BW 22" LCD monitor (1680x1050), using CentOS 5.1.

No matter what combination of things I tried at the two locations above, or in xorg.conf, I couldn't get the resolution right, the screen was obviously "stretched" horizontally and the fonts fuzzy.

Since I mostly write code in a console, I eventually just replaced the monitor with the original and got back to work :-)
