Your solution applies to Debian Etch, but it didn't work for me in testing/unstable anymore. This page gives more details about modern X configuration: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 I added this line to the "Monitor" Section: Option "PreferredMode" "1280x960" It even worked without a modeline - X already came with a suitable mode.
