This is a new system, it has never seen bo.
Have you tried steping through all the configured resolutions with
cntrl-alt-+ or cntrl-alt--? (use the + and - keys on the keypad, not the
ones near the backspace key). By default, X comes up in the highest
configured resolution that passes its sanity checks.
Hopefully, the next resolution down looks better. If it does, comment out
bad modeline in your configuration file and you are set.
