Typically, this would mean that the capabilities of your monitor and
videocard are inadequately stated in /etc/X11/XF86Config.
When X starts, it tries to find the mode with the closest match to the
screen resolution you are asking for; in this case, the best it can do
is 800x600. Look at the X startup log to see what it was doing. (The
log is in /var/log/XFree86.log.0, I think.)
