I get this mode since I added

    SubSection "Display"
        Depth        24
        Modes        "1920x1200"
    EndSubSection

to my screen section in xorg.conf. Without it, I end up with a resolution 
like 1152x864 (don't remember exactly). If you wish I can post the x log 
file issued when I don't force mode in my xorg.conf.
