I think it means that these modes are not built into the xserver. Try generating a custom modeline with the resolutions you're aiming for (or something smaller with the same aspect ratio if you can't go that high) and inserting that into the monitor section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Videogen is one example of a tool for making modelines. If you get something that almost works (but there is some distortion in the screen or something), then use xvidtune to adjust the screen and fine tune the mode (don't forget to print out the corrected modeline created by xvidtune and using that to replace the one you had generated earlier).
