Hello Dave, In playing with xconf, I have found that I had to check to make sure that the horizontal and vertical frequency settings matched the monitor. For instance, with my Sony GDM-20SE1, I did a Internet search for its specifications. I got back horz. = 31.5 - 85.0, vert. 50.0 - 150.0, and resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. When I updated the information in xconf, it worked fine. It seems that X checks the resolution requested against the frequencies available and ignores the resolutions that are not valid. Don't make up these settings yourself. Find the official settings for your monitor's make and model. Potentially, you could damage your monitor with the wrong settings. Good luck.
