Double check your cable. I ran into a widescreen situation a whle back where
one cable didn't work, but the cable that came with the monitor did. The EDID
value comes from the monitor itself, and the cable must be able to support
that in order for the automatic resolution code to properly figure out the
resolution.
In the case I mention, even manually setting the resolution in xorg.conf
didn't work, since the EDID was mangled by the cable.
