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?

the res matters because it maybe doing aspect compensation
because without knowing it you be running something for example
1280x480

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.
