It's not a function of the X server version.  It's (partially) a
function of the vesa driver version; before vesa 2.3.0 the driver would
reject modes wider than 2048 even if the firmware claimed to support
them.  2.3.0 and later don't have that bug.

But the vesa driver can only support modes that the video BIOS actually
advertises, which varies per card.  If your VBIOS doesn't support that
size, consider using something better than vesa.  Which is actually
pretty good advice in any case.
