That is by Xserver design (defaulting to 1024x768 resolution). You have to use
'xrandr' to get your monitor resolutions and outputs. If you go to Preferences
- > Screen resolutions you'll see the same info as you see by typing 'xrandr'
in the terminal window { xranrd will also tell you what the default resolution
is}. You can use 'xrandr -s #' to change resolutions from CLI.
I think your NEC Multisync has this for refreshes (Max Sync Rate (V x H) 75 Hz
x 82.3 kHz, so be aware of these) as you can then plug into xorg.conf.
This is how I first set things up:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "metamodes" "1650x1050_75 +0+0; 1280x1024_75 +0+0; 1024x768 +0+0;
800x600 +0+0; 640x480 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1650x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
---
Note: the new way is Option "monitor-<output_name>" "<monitor_name>" under the
Device section for the radeonHD driver.

So now to make it easier you get the resolutions doing this:
1. xrandr
2. xrandr --verbose { this will help you a bit more}
Use that info as a guide to setup your higher resolutions for your monitor.
I can ask Moinak if he'll update from Xorg git the latest ATi and radeonHD
updates as of today for his ATI binary tarball. The latest Xorg ATI driver
source has most of the updates now (still needs ATI 4870 stuff though).
