I have the same problem with my ViewSonic VX2000 (1600x1200). The only way I can get this to work at 1600x1200 is to copy my /etc/X11/xorg.conf from my 6.0.1 SimplyMEPIS instalation. I've never had this problem with MEPIS before. Hopefully it will be solved for the 6.5 final. I have tried the F3 route with no avail.

I have problems with my FX5200 and SimplyMEPIS 6.x.
What I've done in the past is boot into Kubuntu 6.06 and copy the xorg.conf file from it (since SimplyMEPIS doesn't recognize my monitor correctly, and using F3 for resolution still doesn't give me the desired refresh rate choices).
I have not tried copying the xorg.conf file from Kubuntu into any of the 6.x betas. But, this worked OK the last time I did it with 6.0 Final.
But, if you play around with monitor choices, you can usually find something that works (doing it from a Live CD, then reinstalling X). I've found one that seems to work close enough (horizontal and vertical frequency ranges match my monitor).

You can try booting from the livecd and at the boot screen hit the F3 key. Choose your resolution and boot to the desktop. Choose kmenu>System>Mepis>Mepis X Window Assistant. On the first screen set the destination disk and root partition to copy the x configuration and Apply. Remove the disk and reboot.
