yeah there is no  more sax2  i think starting from 11.2 . your video driver installer \
should set the right resolution. i've heard of people getting it right after deleting \
the xorg.conf file itself. you can start krandrtray and click or right click on it on \
the system tray and set the right resolution for you. but that will probably be \
temporary and you can also mess with xrandr. any ways if it helps here is that file \
                on my sys(i have 1680x1050).
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "Default Monitor"

  ## If your monitor doesn't support DDC you may override the
  ## defaults here
  #HorizSync 28-85
  #VertRefresh 50-100

  ## Add your mode lines here, use e.g the cvt tool

EndSection

 i think you should try it in xorg.conf though so in case you need it here is my \
                /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
