It was a CRT after all, in theory CRTs could have arbitrary resolution up to phosphor atom's size per pixel.
At least for monochrome CRTs, that's true. And for Trinitron (i.e. aperture grille) based
CRTs, it holds true for vertical resolution. { End of nitpicking ;-) }

Did you try ddccontrol?

Yep. That's why I refrained from using that, too.
