I would suggest that it's possible that to achieve the resolution you want requires a clock that's just outside the configured parameters, resulting in Xorg abandoning those resolutions. As an exmaple, my wife's monitor has (making up numbers here just to show the example) a max HorizSync of 64mhz, but the calculated HorizSync for her preferred resolution ends up being 64.03mhz or something silly like that. It's surely some kind of rounding error or some such. A tweak to the xorg.conf allowing 64.5mhz solves the problem. your /var/log/Xorg.0.log should provide detailed information on the status of all the attempted resolutions. A
