It looks like a lot of people have had problems with the X server's automatic detection in Debian Lenny (as used by the new Untangle 6.1).

I've solved the problem by adding a few lines to /etc/xorg.conf to limit the X Server's virtual resolution which causes it to ignore the higher resolution modes that my graphics card is capable of displaying.

So for a 1280x1024 monitor edit /etc/xorg.conf and change ...

Code:
Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
to ...

Code:
Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        SubSection "Display"
                Virtual         1280 1024
        EndSubSection
