Hi David,
I tried both but none worked. I am not sure but my xorg.conf looks a
bit odd to me... the section "Monitor" has UseModes "Modes[0]" but the
matching "Modes" section do not has any modes listed.
Also I have found out that the boot loader setting has Vga Mode 0x315;
mine is a SAMTRON 56V monitor; I am no sure but are higher modes are
at 0x317 or 0x31B (none seem to work though)?
I am inserting my xorg.conf below:

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.

After setting the resolution in sax2, when you get the screen with
'test' and 'save', don't test, just save. Then logout and log back in
and see if it has worked. The current ATI driver is notorious for having
problems with sax2 locking on test. Simply saving without a test has
worked for me in the past. It just might work for you.
Also, remember if you have a strange resolution, you can easily create a
modeline for the xorg.conf with the gtf command:
david@providence:/usr/src> gtf 1680 1050 60
# 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz
Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051
1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync
Hope that helps
