Strange screen resolution problem (doesn't allow to low res)

Hi

I have installed FC7 on a HP Compaq DC7700.
My FC7 recognize the video card as Intel Q963/Q965, and my lcd monitor as HP LP2065.

I have the following problem: I have installed lesstif mwm and I use ".xsession file" for running a script at login and I get the 1600x1200 screen resolution although I set the screen resolution to 1024x768. I really need the 1024x768.

here is the xorg.conf file

Code:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "single head configuration"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "kbd"
	Option	    "XkbModel" "pc105"
	Option	    "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	ModelName    "HP LP2065 Flat Panel Monitor"
	HorizSync    30.0 - 92.0
	VertRefresh  48.0 - 85.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "intel"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection
and here is the .xsession file

Code:
#!/bin/bash

xsetroot -solid DarkSlateBlue 

DIRNAME=`dirname $0`

# Setup APP_HOME
if [ "x$APP_HOME" = "x" ]; then
    # get the full path (without any relative bits)
    APP_HOME=`cd $DIRNAME; pwd`
fi

mwm&

exec /bin/sh $APP_HOME/bin/start.sh
If I dont start mwm, my application start.sh starts correctly, but of course at 1600x1200.

I deal with this problem for a few weeks now. I have read a lot of topics and forums. I tried also with 915resolution. I saw many cases on the net where they have the other problem: they get 800x600 maximum. My problem is exact the opposite.

What can I do?

Thanx,
BOB

Yes, I just have tried that.. It doesn't works. I don't understand where does it takes the 1600x1200 value... ONLY if I use ".xsession" file. Otherwise it is ok.
