Cirrus cards use the SVGA X server (xserver-svga) package in Debian. I guess you have this already installed since you can check some XF86Setup generated modes. My suggestion is that you check the /etc/X11/Xserver which tells what Xserver to use. The first line in my Xserver file is '/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA' but you might have the XF86_VGA16 server as the default server.
I think XF86Setup uses implicitly XF86_SVGA when testing the modes. After you are done with XF86Setup and type 'startx' then the default server in '/etc/X11/Xserver' gets started and if that is XF86_VGA16 you cirrus card won't work.
