I've attached the current config which uses the vesa driver and displays
1024x768.

Apropos, in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/examples/vesamodes.gz there
are only the following modes starting with 1920:

# 1920x1440 @ 60Hz (VESA) hsync: 90.0kHz
ModeLine "1920x1440" 234.0 1920 2048 2256 2600   1440 1441 1444 1500
-hsync +vsync

# 1920x1440 @ 75Hz (VESA) hsync: 112.5kHz
ModeLine "1920x1440" 297.0 1920 2064 2288 2640   1440 1441 1444 1500
-hsync +vsync


Does this mean that no other modes are supported with the vesa driver?
