When I had this problem it was because my monitor was not being auto
detected, so X wasn't able to match resolutions to the monitors
capabilities. It falls back on 800x600 and 640x480 as they are unlikely to
overtax the monitor.
What are the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? I'm guessing there
isn't much in there in which case you might have to explicitly list the
HorizSync and VertRefresh of you monitor.
