Just in case you forgot, did you check to see if your xorg.conf had a
mode line that allows multiple resolutions. I posted the below in one of
my replies to you.

   Recall thye aprt I said "... to get multiple resolutions"? Apparently
   you don't have multiple resolutions yet.

   I have 4 resolutions that I cycle through using <ctrl>-<alt> with
   numeric keypad + or -.

   If you find your xorg.conf file, see if you have a line similar to
   this

       Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

   If not, you only have a single fixed resolution and the <ctl> thingy
   has nothing to do.

I'll add this further recommendation. If you don't have a similar mode
line, you can manually edit it. Just be sure you don't get a *big* error
in there in case your monitor is an older one that can be damaged by
outrageous settings (in it's view).

In the "Monitor" section, make sure your horizontal and vertical
settings are reasonable too.

Habitually not repeating myself 'cause I don't really care...
