When you into the Configure your Desktop -> Display and Monitor. Is the 1366x768 resolution available to you?

If not then you might try this.

Open the Configure your Computer
Configure Video
Set your resolution to 1366x768
Save and exit.

Open a terminal console
su to root
type chattr +i /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This will prevent xorg.conf from being able to be modified.

To reverse the above setting:

chattr -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf
