nope... didnt have any effect, i just cant figure out why sleep mode would be resuming with a new res... the fact that 720 stays for a reboot makes this even stranger

Adding the line to xorg.conf should disable 1920x1080 completely. XBMC should only go up to 720p in the resolution settings. Are you sure you edited the file correctly? Make sure you use a capital "M" in "Modes". This solved the same problem for me, also on a revo... Not sure why it wouldn't work here.
cheers

worked perfect... thanks Harry
such a simple solution, cant reset to 1080p if the option isnt there lol
hopefully the 1080p screeching (sparks) problem is fixed by the time i build up my 1080p collection
cheers,

i have the same problem on my revo r3700. i have enabled various resolutions in my xorg config up to 1080p, but i typically run xbmc at 720p. suspending and resuming resets the resolution to 1080p. i don't want to limit the resolutions available, i just want xbmc to resume to the same resolution it was set to when it was suspended.

I am having the same issue. But since my graphics card is an ATi, I can't just edit Xorg.conf because it is simply ignored. Is there a different way to make sure that XBMC resumes in the resolution that it was in when I put it into standby?
Edit: Wait, cancel that - it seems that Xorg.conf is not ignored completely after all. Adding the "Modes" line did not remove the invalid resolutions, but it did move the resolutions I provided to the top of the Xrandr list. I assume that the preferred Xrandr resolution is selected upon resume from standby; adding the Modes line to Xorg.conf made sure that the Xrandr picked resolution corresponds to the one that I supplied there.
