If I understand the description, I had this same problem (I don't
believe the login screen is actually appearing at 800x600 resolution).
My GDM screen would show up (with 1280x1024 resolution, I think) but it
would look as though it were stretched to a virtual screen resolution of
1600x1200 or somthing so I could not see the bottom or right side of the
screen.
Modifying the 'virtual' line in the xorg.conf 'screen' section to my
actual resolution fixed it for me.
What is your gnome resolution (system-->preferences-->screen resolution)
and what is your monitor capable of (or what's the model)?
In xorg.conf try changing the numbers to match your resolution in the line:
virtual 1280 1024
