Try changing your depth to 16 instead of 24 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. For
example here is mine using my nVidia card instead of my onboard intel:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    Option         "metamodes" "1280x1024 +0+0"
    Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection

24 work for me. Note: I'm not suggesting you use the above, just showing
the depth's in my specific xorg.conf.
  I just completed another system last week where the resolution sizes
were driving me nuts. On that system, the only way that I could get
proper resolution was to change the depths to 16:

    DefaultDepth    16
        Depth       16

Might be worth a try - be sure to backup your xorg.conf first, make the
changes, and then logout/login and then see if xrandr changes.
