You have two problems:
1. You are using the VESA driver instead of the intel driver.
Change this by creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf and specifying the
intel driver. Here's a skeleton:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
ection "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
2. (After you solve 1, this may go away) Your monitor's EDID
information is not being picked up or interpreted properly by
the card/driver. You should be able to override it with
something like this:
xrandr --output VGA1 --addmode 1920x1080
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080
