These resolutions are missing from the drm driver
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/qxl/qxl_display.c#n175
booting with nomodeset should make them 'appear' in the guest (but
better not to do that).

With remote-viewer/gnome-boxes, you should be able to resize the guest
window to any size you want, including the higher resolutions you are
looking for. Is this not working?
