Ahh, I see what's going on.  Those figures come from another source.  I
may have trouble adding it there, as the x86 folks will try to tell me
that's not a valid resolution, because no PeeCee's run that way.  Also the
main distro is going into feature freeze and the documentation is mostly
in place, which probably covers that screen.

As a hot fix, you could edit:

/usr/lib/libDrakX/Xconfigurator_consts.pm, around line 14 from:

@resolutions = qw(640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x768 1280x1024
1400x1050 1600x1200 1920x1440 2048x1536);

to:

@resolutions = qw(640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1400x1050 1600x1200 1920x1440 2048x1536); 

And see if that works for you.  I tried it here and the 1152x864 was
replaced by 1152x768 in the choices, but I did not try to actually set it
up as my machine won't run higher than 1024x768.  I will change it in the
installer for PPC, and I could make the hotfix post-install, but it will
only be good until a draxtools update.
