Did you try to check the X log? It usually has useful information regarding problems with the video.

I also once had a similar problem.  Using the specs from the monitor
data sheet still limited me to 800 X 600.  Solution was to boot with
knoppix, then copy that config file to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 .  Result:
full monitor resolution available to sarge.
