Rawn027,
Read paying close attention to the section on modeline.
X is pre programmed with the standard vesa 4:3 modes. It can do any arbitary resolution you want, you need a modeline to tell it how,
then you call up the modeline in your Modes staements in the Screeen section.
The hard bit it generating the numbers for the modeline. There are lots of modeline generators on the web here is one.

Not sure if this will do the trick, but I had a similar problem which was answered in the following thread.
Best,

The following sections in Xorg do the trick for me:
| Code: |
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "LCD Panel 1680x1050"
HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0
VertRefresh 75.0 - 160.0
Modeline "1680x1050_75.00" 188.07 1680 1800 1984 2288 1050 1051 1054 1096 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1680x1050_75.00" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
