There are a few possible reasons for this:
1. You didn't list the resolution in the correct bit depth (the X server
only uses the list of resolutions for the depth you choose).
- If you chose a DefaultDepth of 24, make sure you have a SubSection
"Display" for Depth 24 with the correct resolutions.
2. You've selected a resolution that requires a larger horizontal or
vertical refresh rate for your monitor. Your X server will prune any
resolutions that cannot be displayed based on these constraints.
- Try editing the second number on the following lines:
HorizSync 28-50
VertRefresh 43-75
If in doubt, look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log and see if you can see a
reason why that resolution was excluded.

Excellent.

Try "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" instead.
