I recently had a problem with resolutions and monitors. There was two
problems. Firstly my monitor was not being detected correctly because
of a KVM and/or vga extension cable. Secondly, and more relevant to
your case, I had a problem when the display subsection was not put
straight after the Identifier line. So try moving your display
subsection to the line after the identifier. It took me two very
frustrating days to work this out!
Fingers crossed...
