Just edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config or XF86Config-4, and near the bottom
of that file, you can add the resolutions, separated by ", at the bottom
of the ' Section "Screen"', so whatever your  DefaultDepth is set at,
thats the one to alter.

i.e
Below, this allows X to run at the following resolutions (providing the
monitor/video card can support it):

"1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

Then just restart X, by CTRL + ALT and Backspace.
