Thanks a lot Gaurav. It really helped. But still the resolution is not very satisfactory. It is a bit irritating.
Here is what I did and what is the problem: I copied the contents of your xorg.conf to mine and it worked, though, the screen-look was irritating my eyes a little bit. Before starting 'X', it gave some message reading something like "Adjusting the resolution ..., though suggested is 1366x768 ...". Hence, to give a try, I changed the first mode entry for Depth 24 from "1280x1024" to "1366x768" and restarted ... only to see the same original error message again "Input Signal Out of Range; Change Settings to 1366x768; 60 Hz". I could not understand why? I reverted back to your xorg.conf and started satisfying myself until a final solution comes from the l...@iitd. How exactly this xorg.conf file is read? In what sequence the modes are selected? What is the best mode for the monitor in my system. The monitor is "hp v185e" and it is 18.5 inches (and not 20 inches; I correct myself here).
