I tried resetting using xrandr:

xrandr: specified screen 1152x864 not large enough for output default

Does:
xrandr -s 1360x864
work any better for you? I find that I have to issue 2 commands since
it "thinks" its already in the size I wish to choose, so I'd do:
xrandr -s 800x600
xrandr -s 1360x864
Of course, I forgot your suggestion to issue 2 commands.
-s sets the screen size. -fb sets the frame buffer size. The frame
buffer size needs to be large enough to hold the largest screen size,
since a smaller screen size can be "scrolled" to view the entire frame
buffer if necessary. In Xorg.conf parlance, -fb is the "virtual screen
size", and -s is the actual screen size. When -s is smaller than -fb,
the screen can be scrolled (via mouse movements) to view the entire
frame buffer.
Eminently sensible. I obviously didn't read the man page carefully
enough. I'll try that the next time this occurs. Thanks.
