Hmmm.... I just backed a test system down to hardy (from jaunty to
intrepid to hardy) for testing purposes. The first thing that I always
need to do is set the screen resolution; what do you know, I show:

1280 x 960
1280 x 800
1280 x 768
^^^^^^^^^^
So I set it for 1280 x 768 & it worked just fine. Granted, it's not the
right resolution for my screen, but the point is that the option is
available in hardy (I'll test in jaunty on the same machine later).

Current video card on that machine is an old ATI:
