From Bug 147846:

"The reason why that patch helped was that it allowed you to use Modes -settings even though the drivers are randr-1.2 capable. If you don't get the correct resolution out-of-the-box, then it's a bug in the driver or your monitor/panel reports bogus EDID information which means that the setting need to be forced. See http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12"

I'll give the RandR workaround (that forces the preferred mode) a shot.
