It will help to post the relevant part of your /etc/X11/XF86config                                                            
file.

Section "Screen" 
<anything you see here>
EndSection


You can reconfigure X with the command: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

I tend to *only* check the box of the target resolution I am looking for.
[ ] 1600x1200
[ ] 1280x1024
[ ] 1280x960
[ ] 1152x864
[*] 1024x768
[ ] 800x600 
[ ] 640x480

This way its forced to at least try the resolution I want first. I am not sure
this is necessary now but it seems to work for me...
