'system-config-display' will not add such option; but you can find
it in 'man radeon'.

The driver should be "radeon" if it supports your video.  I really
do not know that.  If this does not work then a question "in which
resolutions" is kind of secondary.  :-) "vesa" is quite limited by
definition.

That is another issue.  If system-config-display fails then you
can try to give it a "helping hand" with an editor and report your
findings.

Peeking into /var/log/Xorg.setup.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log, after
you tried some configuration and failed, may give you better idea
where troubles lie.
