Thanks. This solution worked perfectly, though, the xorg.conf file was already present. I am listing the steps so as to make this thread usable by someone like me! What I did is as follows:
1. Booted up in `single-user (nonX, terminal) mode' 2. Run `Xorg -configure' as root. It created `xorg.conf.new' file in / root/. 3. I copied (replaced, after backing up the old one for safety) it to / etc/X11/xorg.conf 4. And restarted the Computer. Yes, it took 1366x768 resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate automatically. 5. I confirmed that in `System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution'. Thats all. Thanks to all again.
