    You edit the the XF86Config as root, there you add the desired resolution. You may need to specify HorizSync and VertSync to get the resolutions working

    nano /etc/X11/XF86Config or
    pico /etc/X11/XF86Config

    The file is very easy to edit, refer to your monitor manual to change HorizSync and VertSync.
