It is a combination of the graphic chipset and the monitor
capabilities that defines your maximum.
In /etc/X11/XF86Config you will find two sections
something like:
Section "Monitor"
Section "Device"
Together the describe your monitor and the display device (card).
XF86 will take the maximum and minimu monitor scan rates and the
max/min pixel clock rates for the card and compute the choices
for each color depth.
With a normal setup these choices will be listed in
/etc/X11/XF86Config in this section:
Section "Screen"
under one or more subsection that looks a bit like:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "640x480"
Sometimes the detection of the monitor will fail
or the tables in the release will be 'conservative'.
If this is important then go to each vendors site and
check.
Some caution is advised, bad numbers can overclock and
perhaps damage hardware.
