Hello,
I used a Canon projector hooked up to my Dell Inspiron 1501 yesterday, and now my screen resolution is bonkers. It's supposed to be 1280x800, but when I go to the Display menu, that option no longer appears...
Any idea as to what went wrong and how to fix it?
My xorg file:

# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.

# here are ignored.

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
