problems with resolution settings

[Ernst Persson]

To enable root login you have to do
"sudo passwd"
But there's really no reason to do that,
and you can use sudo -s or sudo gnome-terminal if
you want a root session.

Xorg is pretty good at autosensing modlines, you 
could try to just remove the HSync and VSync values from
xorg.conf.
Post you xorg.conf file if you want more help.
