From my experience getting that resolution out of Xorg will not be a
issue at all. My suggestion is to go with a Nvidia chipset if you
want decent graphics support. The ATI ones that are common lack 3d
support. I am not sure how the generic Intel ones are for that, but
been less than impressed with them under windows from what I have
seen.
