[CentOS] X/Display resolution configuration

[Mike Watson]

Here's the output of "xrandr."  My Xorg.0.log does not exist.

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 
440mm x 250mm
    1600x900       60.0*+
    1280x1024      75.0     60.0
    1280x960       60.0
    1280x800       59.8
    1152x864       75.0
    1280x720       60.0
    1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0
    832x624        74.6
    800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
    640x480        72.8     75.0     66.7     60.0
    720x400        70.1
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

My system will run the 1600x900       60.0*+ selection if I choose it at 
login. Otherwise it reverts to a lower selection 1280x1024.
