I also was able to also achieve to add 1920x1080 permanently in Mint by editing the x.org configuration. Apparently there is no such thing like a Xconf settings editor (or at least I haven't found anything) in Mint so Simon's way isn't working. But what did was following this tutorial http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/877 only with the command "cvt 1920 1080" and than the modeline generated by it. I also had the problem that after "sudo service mdm stop" everything (also the command line) blacked out completely, another Ctrl+Alt+F1 brought the command line back for me.
