I have read varios man-pages and FAQ:s without success. possibly you know that, but if you did not disable it, then any user might switch the resolution by pressing <alt>-<ctrl>-<NumKeypad + or ->. of course, the modelines have to be present and listed in the srceen section of xfconfig. this does not solve the problem to _startup_ with another resolution, but that's a question of three key presses ... i don't think, that a normal user may have local config files for the x-server, as it runs as root and that _could_ be really bad ... however, there is a workaround: let the users put "xvidtune -next/prev" (possibly mutliple times) in their ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc (or however the file is named under debian).
