Funny thing one of my Favourite OS (Fedora) did not even boot on it.
I have a similar problem with an Intel server motherboard with an ATI video chipset. Although the LCD monitor connected to it supports up to 1280x1024, none of the distros tried so far go further than 1024x768. After some digging around I have found that the kernel KMS needs to be compiled with an ATI flag that is not present in the distros (openSUSE and Debian) I have tried till now. This could be your problem. Compare the config files of the kernel from each distro and see what diff between them throws out. -- Arun Khan "As a layman, I would say we have it, but as a scientist I have to say, 'What do we have?'"
