Jim,

I looked through your log output and a couple of things came to mind.
The log seems to say there's an analog connection (possibly to a
CRT). Are you using an analog connection or DVI? I wonder if there's
a lower max resolution if using an analog connection.

Also, just noticed you have the DisplaySize explicitly set in your
xorg.conf file. Are you sure those are the correct values? It might
be worth a try to comment that line out and let the size be
auto-detected if possible.
