Below is my config file, both XF86Config and XF86Config-4 are the
same, but gdm only uses 1024x768

Iam using a Dell Precision 340 PC
# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 X Window System server configuration file)

# values from the debconf database.

# Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page.
# (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.)

# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xfree86 package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xfree86
# package.
