What you describe below is my setup exactly.
I have 2 CentOS boxes running through a KVM with VGA and PS2 connectors.
I also just recently purchased a BENQ E2200HD and plugged it in via VGA
to the KVM. I had a bit of a look at playing with xorg.conf, but
discovered as you mention that the generic drivers don't appear to be
set up for full HD just yet.
That said, I have a 1yr old Intel board (on-board video) running KDE at
1440x900 happily and a much older card (I think its NVidea) running
Gnome at 1680x1050 without issue.

Havent purchased a new monior yet. Am ensuring that whatever I buy
actually is compatible with Linux - had problems some time ago when I
purchased an LG 20" widescreen and it didnt work at its default 1680 x
1050 until xorg was updated. I dont bother with proprietory drivers.
3 Desktops ( 2 NVidea and the Intel GPU) only have CGA output, and one
(Nvidea) has a DVI.
As I am running most of them through a KVM with only VGA and PS2
connectors I havent used the DVI output.
I dont doubt that the Vid Cards will probably run 1920 x 1200 ( they
currently handle 1680 x 1050 fine), but dont know about 1920 x 1080.
