I've seen this happen on a machine with Intel graphics also. In my case I found it was the intel kernel module deciding the native/optimal resolution was a low one because VGA was accidentally plugged into an inactive KVM box. I was actually only using DVI (at a much higher resolution). Unplugging the unused VGA port solved it for me.
