Not precisely those resolutions, but not far off:

mrburns:~% xdpyinfo | fgrep dimensions
  dimensions:    3520x1200 pixels (931x317 millimeters)
  dimensions:    3584x1440 pixels (948x381 millimeters)

mrburns:~% lspci | fgrep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce
GTX 285] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce
210] (rev a2)

That's using the nouveau drivers. I can say that I'd avoid nvidia
cards if at all possible. They've caused me no end of trouble on this
machine, and I've had much better success with ATI cards.
