I have to agree your first post was fairly self-explanatory :). Did this just start? What happened between the last time everything was normal and the first time it wasn't?

I'd think there'd be a driver. See if you can find one online for your display.

You're not connected via DVI? Then yes, go ahead and change the settings to taste per res - most displays will remember each res setting and adjust accordingly.
