To be sincere, nowadays that X in "dinamically" setup, I'm not sure. I had previous experiences with xorg configuration that couldn't properly detect the display resolution but just by forcing it (writing up in xorg.conf file) it just worked :-? > Here, X runs at 1280x1024, but the monitor is capable of 1680x1050 Also, using a digital output -DVI instead VGA- (if available) can help X to detect the screen size and adjust it accordingly. > xrandr outputs; > > Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024 > default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm > 1280x1024 0.0* > 1024x768 0.0 > 800x600 0.0 > 640x480 0.0 > > Note the maximum is incorrect.

Different drivers deliver different results. Yes, I know that not everyone likes using closed drivers but is just another option to test.
