After upgrading to 7.3, settings in xorg.conf are not obeyed

[Adam K Kirchhoff]

Have you checked the output of "xrandr" to see if 1600x1200 is listed?

The radeon driver in the ports tree was buggy for me in that regard.  It 
insisted I had a monitor connected to only one DVI port and something hooked 
up to the S-Video port.  I had to manually upgrade the driver to the latest 
available in the freedesktop git repo to get the driver to properly detect my 
monitors.
