I guess simply
xrandr -s 1024x768
doesn't work either.

[panda@jeffrey ~]$ xrandr -s 1024x768
Size 1024x768 not found in available modes
No luck. ;s

Delete the xorg.conf and reboot to let kms configure the card.

Alright. Be back soon, I hope.

Delete the xorg.conf and reboot to let kms configure the card.
And if that doesn't work, create an xorg.conf and specify the default mode as 1024x768.
Maybe OP needs 10-s3.conf or sth like that?

What line would I specify a default mode? (I believe I have tried this)

First install hal and put it in your DAEMONS array. Your driver should pick the right resolution.

I put hal and dbus in my daemons, and they started up, but it didn't change anything
Also, restarting without an xorg.conf also didn't change anything. Hm..

You may not notice any difference, but the output of xrandr will be different if kms autoconfigured correctly. If it has, then you can add a 1024x768 mode and switch to it like I posted before, although you may need to increase the virtual screen size first.

An if that doesn't work, you can borrow my blowtorch ;P
If it's working in Ubuntu you may want to check what configs / drivers is it using. Maybe you can fire-up some liveCD that gives you the correct resolution.

Nope :s xrandr yields the same output as before.

Hmm. I could try my luxid lynx live cd. What would I do if it does? O.o

Check what driver and xorg.conf (if any) it uses.
Offline
It had the same options under xrandr that I have without it. :s So, no luck, again.

The options that xrandr displays are not set in stone. You can addmodes to it. The problem is that if the card only detects 800x600 and no higher, it'll set the virtual screen to that size which makes it difficult to switch to higher modes that you add. Have a read through this page and you'll see what needs to be done to a basic xorg.conf, specifically;
# ADD A VIRTUAL LINE TO PROVIDE FOR THE LARGEST SCREENS YOU WILL HOTPLUG
Virtual 2048 2048

I tried that. Added the virtual screen thing and nothing :s Blahhh.

How 'bout this, with modes?

I tried a few different "working" configurations files, nothing. I also tried adding that, didn't help at all. :s
I've never had a problem last this long.
