Possible answer:

You are probably using an XF86 server that does not provide 1152x862 resolution, 
AFAIK such is XF86_SVGA.  The first line in /etc/X11/Xserver indicates the 
server on duty.

If you have a card that can cooperate with another XFree86 server then try to 
reconfigure XF86 to work with the card-specific server.  For example, I have an 
S3 Virge video card, which can be used with both XF86_SVGA and XF86_S3V, but the 
latter provides more modes.

An XF86 question:  

I purged, then reloaded, X-related debian packages once and now XF86Setup 
appears to be missing.  What package should I download to have it back?
