SlowMotion3EB,

Open a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf for editing.

In that file you will see a list of resolutions that are availiable to you. Move all the resolutions you don't want into a commented line like this:

# 1024x768 640x480 1920x1440 .... etc.

This should leave only the resolution you want in the original line. Save and exit.

Restart x or reboot if that is easier for you. Your desired resolution should now be there.
