Thanks to all who responded. In addition to the info give, I discorvered
the great little buttons on my key board, "ctrl-alt" & " - " (minus key
on number pad). This will revert the back a step to a lower
working resolution display without having to edit the xorg.conf file
(ctrl-alt-+ if you want a higher resolution). Again, thanks for all your
help.

You could check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make sure it is in fact using the
config file you are looking at:
$ grep "Using config file" Xorg.0.log
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
Probably not that useful, but worth a shot.

I was Enjoying my Dell 2405fpw 1920x1200 Res. a little too much and
decided to take the resolution setting to the highest level (1600x1200),
now the screen blanks out and gives an error message saying that it
can't handle the resolution. I tried going into xorg.conf and editing
the Modes line and removed the "1600x1200" res option but to no avail.
The system still boot up with screen problems. I know I'm on the right
track in getting this resolved but I could use a little help in fine
tunning my efforts, thanks.
