If you run only the xserver itself, what resolution will it use?
What is mentioned about the resolution in /var/log/XOrg.0.log?
Are the display capabilities correctly detected?

On one of my machines I have a monitor connected to a 10m long VGA cable. 
This has a problem detecting the capabilities of the monitor and therefore 
the Xserver starts by default as 1024 � 768. I had to add lines Modeline 
with higher resolution values to xorg.conf. Then everything works fine, no 
matter how the monitor's capabilities are not detected.

Cheers
