Projector display

I had a real fight a few months ago to get a decent display from my BenQ
W100 projector. I never did managed to get a wide screen image
outputting but spent so long trying that I settled on a 1024x768 image
with wide screen 'display size' settings.
This worked ok, and still displays ok, but I've had a problem since
upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10. The main GUI of Ubuntu works fine, but when I
press CONTROL + ALT + F1 to log in without the GUI the screen can not be
displayed. I just get an out of range or invalid message from my monitor.
I don't need to do this much, but do need it.
I can see the boot up of the machine when the computer starts, so it's
not like that mode can't be displayed at all, and I know this used to
work fine. But now going to CONTROL + ALT + F1 is invalid.
Can any of you in the know check out my xorg.conf file and tell me where
I'm going wrong?
If anyone can get wide screen resolutions going on my projector then
I'll be in your debt forever!
Cheers
Damian
