I looked at the stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see this:


Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x720" 
"1152x864"
 "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

This is what the Nvidia system can produce it appears and it does not 
include what you want.
