    xorg.conf and "Screen Resolution"

    Using the "System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution" utility, I've set my screen to 1400x1050, which works well for me on my big old CRT monitor.

    Oddly enough, though, this resolution does not appear in my xorg.conf file, and the available resolutions under the "Screen Resolution" utlity bear little resemblancs to those listed in the "Screen" section of my xorg.conf.

    Do "Screen Resolution" and xorg.conf have any relationship at all?

    Yes they do. What do you have in your config file:
    Code:
    Section "Screen"
    	Identifier	"Default Screen"
    	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
    	Device		"Configured Video Device"
    	Option		"AddARGBGLXVisuals"	"True"
    	Option          "NoLogo" "True"
    	Defaultdepth	24
    	SubSection     "Display"
            Virtual     1440 900
            Depth       24
            Modes      "1440x900" "1920x1440" "1920x1200" "1856x1392" "1680x1050" "1440x900@60" "1400x1050"
        EndSubSection
    EndSection
    The first listed should be your default resolution.
