You didn't provide /etc/xorg.conf, and from the Xorg.0.log I see that you are 
using it. Furthermore, you are using the basic Vesa driver, which is the core 
of your problems. You should be using the intel driver, not vesa, if you want 
to have support for native resolutions of your monitor. Vesa will provide you 
only with 800x600 and 1024x768, as reported by xrandr.

Do the following:

* Edit /etc/xorg.conf and where you find "vesa" replace it with "intel". Save 
the file (you have to do this as root). Alternatively, rename /etc/xorg.conf to 
something else, for example /etc/xorg.conf-backup, in order to try the default 
X configuration without xorg.conf.

* Restart X (ie. log out and log back in). If X fails to start, log into a 
text terminal (ctrl-alt-f2) as root and revert the old /etc/xorg.conf. Post 
the Xorg.0.log so that we can see why it failed.

* If X is up and you can log in, post the output of xrandr. If the resolution 
is still not satisfactory post the output of Xorg.0.log as well.

* Explain why do you need to use /etc/xorg.conf and post that as well, so that 
we can help you configure it properly for your needs.

HTH, :-)
