To get the list of resolutions supported by X you should be able to
query xrandr.  There may be a GUI limitation, this would check to see
what X is thinking under.

Here's the output for me:

$ xrandr 
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 900
default connected 1440x900+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1440x900       50.0* 
   1280x800       51.0  
   1280x768       52.0  
   1024x768       53.0  
   840x525        54.0  
   800x600        55.0     56.0  
   800x512        57.0  
   720x450        58.0  
   700x525        59.0  
   640x512        60.0  
   640x480        61.0     62.0  
   640x400        63.0  
   640x384        64.0  
   512x384        65.0  
   400x300        66.0  
   320x240        67.0  

You can set the resolution with that command also.
