YOU HAVE TO EDIT YOUR x.org conf file (as root) and add the correct 
resolution. Make sure that you make the change to all instances. here is 
a copy of my file from Mepis 7.0 where I added the 1440 x 900 resolution 
for my 19" LCD monitor.

  SubSection "Display"
   Depth 8
   Modes "1440x900""1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
   Depth 15
   Modes "1440x900""1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
   Depth 16
   Modes "1440x900""1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
   Depth 24
   Modes "1440x900""1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
   Depth 32
   Modes "1440x900""1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
   EndSubSection
