from the command like can you do this:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Most of the default settings should work for you. On one part of the setup, you will be asked on the support of the resolution of your display. You can choose the settings that you see fit and just add them during setup. After configuring xserver-xorg, you can do ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the xserver and you should be able to select your proper settings. Hope this helps.
