The X server has several built in video modes which are based on 
the VESA GTF and other standards, but it does not contain an 
exhaustive list of every possible video mode in every refresh 
rate, or every possible video mode in other aspect ratios.  The X 
server is, and always has been able to use user supplied video 
modelines provided in the config file.  If you require a video 
mode which is not built into the X server, you can calculate your 
own video mode timings and provide them in the X server config 
file and the new mode will be used assuming it is valid in the 
current configuration, and specified.

You can use various tools to calculate your own video modes, 
including the "gtf" tool which comes with 4.3.0.

Hope this helps.
