There are lots of things that can effect this. Monitor definition is most significant. The first thing to look at is your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. It's long and lots of it is not relevant, but it contains a rather long section detailing the selection of the display resolution and the monitor and card capability. I quick thing to try is to rename your configuration and starting Xorg. It will generate its configuration by probing the system and usually does quite well. -- R.
