With your input and from xorg I've got the setup as good as it will get I think. Comes up in 1400x1050. Just for your info: Now about that xdpyinfo. Several people have pointed to it. It does not show the actual displayed resolution. At least not here. It shows the same thing as xwininfo, that is, the size of my virtual desktop. In my case it is now set to 2048x1536. I think for many people who don't use a virtual desktop larger than the largest resolution, then xdpyinfo shows the correct figure and so has been taken for displayed resolution but really isn't. On the xorg group someone mentioned `xvidtune -s' and finally that was something that really shows the display resolution Snippet from xorg.conf that gives me the best I'll get for now I think.
