Have you checked your X log files? I can't point you to their direct
location, but try /var/log .
You will then be able to view the 'fallbacks' of X and the reason it refuses
to support a higher screen resolution. When I shoved the Display SubSection
that I proposed into Ubuntu's the X configuration script, I did not have
the choice to change to a higher resolution, but X was told to try to use
the highest resolution possible, falling back each time it fails. So, it
might behave differently depending on what minitor is plugged in.
Let me know how it goes...
