XFree86 4 queries the monitor to find out which modes it supports. However, your monitor only answers with some standardized modes (VESA defined, IIRC), because the number of possible modes would be extremely large. You can still tell X 4 manually which mode to use, by specifying an explicit modeline for any given resolution, though. This works by adding a MODE subsection to a MONITOR section or specify the Modeline directly in a MONITOR section. See "MONITOR SECTION" in `man XF86Config`. BTW, if you have your console running at your wanted resolution via the framebuffer, you can use `fbset -x` to get a nicely formatted MODE section for your XF86Config.
