This one is easy, just edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root user and add Modes lines

Original can look like:
 
Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection


Add the Modes line with your optimal resolution included 


Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	 Modes   "1440x900" "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

The numbers here can changed but namely you prefer "1440x900" as I saw in previous post.  Try that and Deskop should start in your preferred resolution :)
