That's cause it isn't there :)
It is in /etc/X11/XF86Config if you use XFree86. All you do is find the
settings for you server (probably at the bottom of the file if you use the
accellerated server). There will be different sections for different
color depths. You just need to change the order of the resolutions. I
have included one small example.
The resolutions will cycle in the order they appear.
included from /etc/X11/XF86Config:
# The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, Mach64)
Section "Screen"
Driver "accel"
Device "My Video Card"
Monitor "My Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8 # ** THE COLOR DEPTH **
ViewPort 0 0
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
Virtual 1280 1024
EndSubsection
EndSection
// Change the Modes line to :
Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600" "1280x1024"
