Actually, it is a limitation of the VBE BIOS -- these typically don't 
list eg. widescreen modes, and Desmond is using the "vesa" driver, so 
the X server has no way to force a resolution other than what is listed 
in the firmware.

Best bet is to update to Xorg from pkgsrc and use the radeon driver or 
try XFree86 4.7.0.
