I reinstalled 7.3 last night, and (of course) the same results. Here is 
the output of xrandr:

I was looking through bugs.freedesktop.org also to see if other people 
had problems with resolutions. There were quite a few reports, but I've 
not had chance to try out any of the proposed solutions yet.

One thing I will try this evening is swapping out the 9600 for a 9250 I 
have, to see if that changes anything.
