Some time ago, I posted this message, regarding Fedora 17:

                --------------------------------

Subject:  GDM has wrong monitor resolution, with a bit of a howto

"For some reason, my installation picks the wrong monitor resolution, by
default.  In my case, less resolution than it could manage, and results
in a weird aspect ratio.  So I have to manually configure each user to
use the correct one, which is a bit annoying.  That leaves gdm with the
wrong resolution, and not quite so easily resolved.

"However, copying a working ~/.config/monitors.xml file over to the gdm
homespace in /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml fixes that up.

"Also copying it into /etc/skel/.config/monitors.xml ought to preset any
new users with a working screen resolution, but I haven't tested that,
yet."

                --------------------------------

Since then, I have tested what I mentioned in the last paragraph, and
that does work.

Have a look at that monitors.xml file, and you can see X and Y
configuration parameters.  Try changing them to what you want.
