    I had a similar experience. I solved the problem by
    editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In the section "Screen" you can define:
            DefaultDepth 16
            SubSection "Display"
                    Viewport 0 0
                    Depth 16
                    Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768"
    "800x600" "640x480"
            EndSubSection

    Remark: the Modes-line should be on one line!

    Hope this solves your problem.

    Cheers,
    Aad
