Good try.  That's often the fastest way to find the answer.

So you've made sure there's a VBIOS mode setting available for that
resolution.  Hmmm.

Please attempt to start the X server with that configuration, and then
gzip and attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.  That is where clues to

yourself, and rather than sending it, you can summarize your findings.
