    If I used that resolution I'd have to use a microscope...

    Have you tried editing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf/XF86Config to add that resolution in?

    The config file is either /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

    Also, make sure you have the correct refresh rates on your monitor. If you monitor can support that resolution, then as long as you have the correct rates in your config file, you should see it as an option.
