The monitor certainly reports 1440x900 as it's resolution.

This is a problem. Your version of X doesn't know that resolution
(perhaps a newer version does). You will either need a newer X or to
manually add a modeline.
For example:
Modeline "1440x900" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
(that one is 60Hz)
or
Modeline "1440x900" 136.49 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 901 904 940 -HSync +Vsync
(That's 75Hz)
Put it in the monitor section in the X config and then hopefully X will
know how to use it.
