Probably your video BIOS do not offer the resolution you want. Download

Use it to list the video modes offered by your video BIOS. If the resolution 
you want is not listed, use the software to replace an unused mode with the 
one you want.
After that you'll probably need to edit xorg.conf manually to add the 
resolution you want to your screen configuration.
