I fondly remember programming my own higher resolution graphics modes via X86Config.
I used to scrounge around at work to find the highest bandwidth monitors, and then I'd program my own modes with oddball non-VESA resolutions beyond the 1024x768 'standard' of the day.
All this could be figured out by reading the specifications section of the monitors operating manual.

IIRC I used an 90s version of this document to figure it out: X.org/XFree86 Video Timings HOWTO (https://tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO/index.htm...)
