I had a similar problem with Ubuntu (GNOME). The drop-down menu offered a
limited choice.
Go to your X configuration script (e.g. /etc/X/XF86Config) and having made a
backup (!!!), edit it to include the following under the Section "Screen".
<DO NOT CHANGE>
Section "Screen"
Identifier ...
Device ...
Monitor ...
DefaultDepth ...
</DO NOT CHANGE>
<CHANGE THIS!>
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624"
"800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
</CHANGE THIS!>
<DO NOT CHANGE>
EndSection
</DO NOT CHANGE>
This will attempt a wider range of screen resolutions.
