This is a tricky area. If the bios does not have a 1152x864 setting for the VGA then you can't specify it (you can, it just will not be considered). You would need to make a 1152x864 bios entry, THEN you will be able to. In both RH and Knoppix cases the XFree86.0.log or Xorg.0.log (they may be the same file) will tell you all (and lots lots more) you need to know. Based on this you can take action.
