edit your xorg.conf , which is in /etc/X11/ , and scroll down to the screen section and look for something like this...

Code:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "ATI(RadeonGeneric)"
    Monitor     "GatewayVX700"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

simply add the desired resolution to each of the displays, save , and restart x, and then you should be able to select your desired resolution .
