You really need to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Quite likely your minitor is not being correctly probed by xorg, which
therefore defaults to a low resolution.
If that is the problem then you need to add HorizSync and VertRefresh
lines into your configuration file in the monitor section. Here is mine
as an example:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 35-85
VertRefresh 48-120
EndSection
I have had surprisingly good luck finding rates for crappy monitors by
googling.
