Reboot, and it should now be possible to set the resoloution you
want.
Reboot? It should be enough to restart X...
Of course, but with the greatest respct to the OP I was trying to keep
it simple. Unless you are making lots of changes one after the other,
does it really save much time anyway?

I appreciate that. However I used to do Unix a long time ago (15yrs) so I
am not completely clueless. Anyway, editing xorg.conf doesn't seem to have
made any difference. Any other suggestions?

I would normally stop and restart the login manager too, or probably just
stop it, test the changes with startx or xinit, then restart the login
manager. Since a Debian-derived distribution is referenced, either of the
following will work (for xdm):

# /etc/init.d/xdm start
# invoke-rc.d xdm start
