It wouldn't be a hardware issue, but a driver you are using with that  
hardware issue..

1) Have you done 'Xorg -configure' as root?

2) Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files  
so we can see what is configured and what is happening..

Please also specify what video card you have currently got installed  
and the sort of monitor connected to it, if it's a relatively new  
monitor then the horez/vert frequencies can be automatically detected,  
but if it is not then setting these correctly is important in getting  
higher resolutions.

Cheers,
Jerahmy.
