Widerscreen resolutions

I recently got a 19" WS which runs at a native 1440x900, but some games are not liking this resolution so I want to turn the res down a touch, but which resolutions are widescreen?

For instance in rFactor I can select:

1440x900
1360 x 768
1280 x 800
1280 x 720
1152 x 864
1088 x 612

I used to run at 1280x960 on the CRT and the GFX card could cope so looking for a widescreen res equivalent to that really, sorry if this is a totally dumb question

Its a 7800 GS (AGP) I guess it should be fine, maybe the PC was just running a bit off last night, will test it out again tonight, although I do have the AA and AF bumped up which might just have pushed it over the edge, cheers all

Thought I would drag up this old thread, anyway still got the same card and monitor and some games are pushing things a bit too much, so I want to select a lower res, but it seems I am now missing all the other options I used to have and can only pick between 1440x900, 1024x768 and 800x600, have tried new graphics drivers and still wont show the other resolutions, any ideas what I can do?

Only thing I can think of is I changed to a DVI cable, would this stop those other resolutions showing?
