Two ideas come to mind from how I'd figure out a sane resolution:
1) ask the graphics card for its preferred resolution(s). This idea comes from
looking at the supported frequencies per resolution in the xrandr output. More
frequencies/higher frequency per resolution means better chance that it works.
2) Hardcode a list of resolutions that old/stupid monitors are likely to
support and use them preferrably. That's what I do if something doesn't work:
Try 1024x768 or 640x480 before trying 1600x1024.

I'd even prefer coming up in 640x480 to not coming up at all.
