In Gnome go to Desktop > Preferences > Screen Resolution and see if you
have options for choosing different resolutions. If not, you will have
to configure Xorg with the exact specs of your monitor.

You can configure xorg by (as root)

~$> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

You will need horizontal and vertical refresh rates during the
reconfiguration (in addition to mouse device e.g. /dev/input/mice, and
video card memory) . So keep your monitor manual handy.

Hope this helps,
