Thanks again for reply Gabriel,
I did,
1. Commented out the line with "DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto" by
putting a # in front of it. Saved and closed the file.
2. Ctl+Alt+F1 the GUI vanished and console appeared with login.
3. Logged in as root.
4. Executed 'init 3'
5. Executed 'init 5'
6. GUI re-appeared with same resolution
Did I missed something in these steps? If not, what can be other possibilities?
Please help.

Hello Bikram,
So, like I said, I really don't know if this will work for you, but you should give it a try.
Just comment the file (put a # before de line) on the following line:
DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto="1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync"
And restart X by pressing alt+ctrl F1 to go to terminal, log in as root, type init 3, and them init 5.
See if it works and let me know.
Regards,
Gabriel

: Thanks for your reply Gabriel,
The /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager I have is: (I left out the commented lines)
DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER="Xorg" DISPLAYMANAGER_XGL_OPTS="-accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer" DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="yes" DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN="bikram" DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_AD_INTEGRATION="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="auto" DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="auto" DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto="1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync"
Can you please tell me which line(s) I am required to change and with what?
Please forgive my ignorance, I am pretty new with linux. And please help
Thanks in advance.

All I did was to change this script:
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
and commented the last line regarding to randr mode_auto which was forcing my screen resolution to 800x600.
Hope this helps out.

: Thanks for the reply Todd,
Oh yes, I did that several times... (old windows habbit). I restarted the machine also!
Each time I change the resolution and try to save it a window comes with "Test" button. This takes me to a screen that looks like adjusting screen size and position etc, I guess this also restarts the x-server.
What else I might be missing?

Starting with the simplest solutions first. Many people don't realize that you have to restart the xserver in order to have the new resolution.
Have you done this? You can restart the xserver by pressing ctrl+alt+backspace.
Cheers Todd
