Have you tried logging in to a console and rerunning XF86Setup? (Hold down CTL + ALT + F1 if you are stuck on the blank Xwindow screen, this will bring you to a log-in console on tty1, then, as root, type

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 # XFree86 4.x dpkg-reconfigure xserver-svga # XFree86 3.x usually

may be preferable in some circumstances.

Might be worth doing an

apt-get install read-edid

first and then the reconfigure should hopefully detect the resolutions your monitor supports automatically (if it's not ancient).
