You'd have to go into your /etc/X11/XF86Config file then, and see what
resolutions are defined in there for your graphics card (screen section,
near the bottom).
E.g. from my experience:
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
Device "My Video Card"
Monitor "Sony CPD-200ES"
DefaultColorDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x400"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
(There's more, but that's not relevant).
I run my system on 16-bit colors, so the available resolutions are
1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480. If that does not work correctly, there
might still be a flaw in the Xserver or the driver.
And if it is not that, then my knowledge ends...
Good luck!
Paul
