I wouldn't blaim it on the distros you're trying. It seems you aren't configuring X properly. I'll get you started: http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr...+x&btnG=Search

Any linux distribution can support higher resolutions - the only limit is with your graphics/card or monitor. I know Suse and Ubuntu have card db's with higher res X settings. Slack i think you need to edit by hand, but it will still work.
