There's a patch for this, maybe in the Bugzilla (I don't remember if I
put it there), and at:

There has been some discussion about this on the mailing list with the
conclusion that there is no list of "standard" resolutions. Back then
the idea was to query the available resolutions and use those (like
the unreal tournament series does).

If you just want to add the resolution of your TFT to the list take a
look at this patch:
