following:

the problem is  most likely that your monitor has not been correctly 
identified.
run the graphical config tool
system-config-display
go to the 'hardware' settings and find either
a) your specific model
or
b) one of the 'generic' models that reflects what your monitor is capable of

then you should be able to change the resolution in the main interface again.

Stuart
