I believe your running a radeon of some sort and your using the xorg
radeon driver.  So, to solve your problem I would recommend enabling
DDC.  If you type 'man radeon' at a command prompt, youll see all the
options you can use.  The one your looking for is as follows

      Option "DDCMode" "boolean"
              Force to use the modes queried from the connected monitor.
              The default is off.

So youll want to add that to your device section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then you should be able to use the resolution capplet under
System->Preferences->Screen Resolution to set a higher resolution.
