You can use "xrandr" (command line tool) to add the new screen resolution
in the event is has not been automatically detected by your system.
Xrandr is a very powerful tool that allows you to make funny things with
your screen (better if you are using an open source VGA driver, such as
intel, nouveau or radeon) though is not easy to deal with.
Debian wiki has a page for it:
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
But you will have more information and specific command line examples by
Googling around. For instance, I found this article very useful ("Adding
undetected resolutions"):
