I have found the solution to this problem after a long time. I installed the tool called xdebconfigurator. After installing it, i ran the command 'xdebconfigurator' which show the configurations supported by my display adapter which included higher resolutions than what was being automagically used by X. Then I generated Xorg.conf file using the 'dexconf' command and restarted gdm and everything worked fine. I was able to select all the higher resolutions and frequency my display adapter supported. :). Hope this is helpful to those with the same problem. Thank you.
