Probably what you need to do is look at the order that your X server is
getting your 'Modes' secitons. I believe that it accepts whatever setting
it gets first as the default. I ran in to something similar this weekend
when I did my first Debian install. I just commented out all of the modes
that I didn't want the X server to be using, then everything turned out
great.
