seems like G400 capabilities are not detected properly.  I had the same issue 
with 640x480/800x600 but in addition no dual head config was offered either.  
If you need info on the G400/dual head issue let me know.  In the end I put 
in a G450 card (detected properly) & got the config right then switched the 
cards back and all is well.
