On Windows the resolution are currently hardcoded (fixed list), so you can 
select even unavailable resolutions (it should run windowed as consequence).

In Linux the resolutions are fetched via the XRandr extension, so whatever is 
advertised is offered, this should basically includ all resolution which you can 
switch to with CTRL ALT + and CTRL ALT - and are listed in the xorg.conf or 
XF86config file.

Look at src/libs/tgfclient/screen.cpp for details.
