Can anyone tell me what's going wrong here?

Initial putput of xrandr:
Code:
xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1280 x 800, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
   1024x768       60.0 +
   800x600        72.2     60.3     56.2 
   640x480        59.9 
   512x384       120.0 
   400x300       144.4 
   320x240       120.1 
TV-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS-0 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm
