Outside guess?
Run ...
CentOS 3: grep -i driver /etc/X11/XF86Config
CentOS 4: grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If it says "vesa", then you're kernel framebuffer (vga=mode)
is defining your resolution, not X.
If so, edit the file and replace "vesa" with "i810" and
restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace from the X console if running).
