I tried resetting using xrandr:

xrandr: specified screen 1152x864 not large enough for output default

Does:
xrandr -s 1360x864
work any better for you? I find that I have to issue 2 commands since
it "thinks" its already in the size I wish to choose, so I'd do:
xrandr -s 800x600
xrandr -s 1360x864
Of course, I forgot your suggestion to issue 2 commands.
-s sets the screen size. -fb sets the frame buffer size. The frame
buffer size needs to be large enough to hold the largest screen size,
since a smaller screen size can be "scrolled" to view the entire frame
buffer if necessary. In Xorg.conf parlance, -fb is the "virtual
screen size", and -s is the actual screen size. When -s is smaller
than -fb, the screen can be scrolled (via mouse movements) to view the
entire frame buffer.
Eminently sensible. I obviously didn't read the man page carefully
enough. I'll try that the next time this occurs. Thanks.
Just to be clear, I'll issue:
xrandr -s 800x600
xrandr -s 1152x864
You had the second one as the "wrong" dimensions.
I'm still confused about the horizontal labelled as being larger while
it's the vertical dimension that's been changed.
