My wife's computer is having a screen resolution problem in gnome.  The
only screen resolutions available are 856x480 and 640x480.  I don't
understand this, as I have set in her xorg.conf file to only allow
1024x768 and 800x600 .  Where is this coming from?  She uses modular X.
Here is her /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"

	FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
	FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
EndSection

Please help.  xdm on my wife's computer has been shut down for two days
so that I could run an emerge -ND world to get rid of xmms stuff (the
computer hangs on emerging qt if I don't shut down all non-essentials.)
My wife prefers 1024x768, but I can't figure out why she doesn't have
it...

What happens if you make the DefaultDepth 16? Or 15.

Can you post /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
