/etc/X11/xorg.conf should do it. GDM just takes the default xorg resolution, I'm pretty sure.

Which probably means you're still using XFree86. While you should update to X.org since XFree86 is no longer supported upstream, the corresponding configuration file is /etc/X11/XF86Config.

hmm i do have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example

and i used it to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf

but on booting it dies a death, when i rm'ed it worked fine

xf86config-4 works just fine with x.org
if you delete xorg.conf it will use xf86config-4
