Not at all - I'm using XF86_SVGA with my Matrox G200 and have it at
1280x1024 - I've had it up to 1600x1200.

The didicated server is the SVGA server - the name is just misleading.

First thing is check the refresh settings for the monitor - Windows and
XFree may not be using the same settings. Checking the modelines would be
good as well.
Using a newer XFree server wouldn't hurt.
