Nomenclature clash:
VESA modes are a set of standardized video resolutions that work on
VESA compatible monitors. As you found out, they don't support 16:9
modes very well. They are fixed/enshrined/hardwired in the video card
driver (hardware-specific or VESA BIOS based, doesn't matter), but
pertain to the monitor
VESA driver is a simple video card driver in the X server that uses
standard VESA BIOS calls therefore is mostly hardware independent.
I am suggesting of forcing your X server (could be VESA or hardware
specific, doesn't matter) to use a non-standard non-VESA video mode.
Save your existing xorg.conf to xorg.conf.save1 and try this xorg.conf
file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "MyMonitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1360x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Identifier "MyMonitor"
Modeline "1360x768" 85.5 1360 1424 1536 1792 768 771 777 795
