@dts-dreamer & @crichton Just to confirm, creating an xorg.conf as attached by the #patch from intel (dts-dreamer) worked for me.
I don't know if any (other virtualized) hardware is (negatively) affected by simply using this xorg.conf ...but setting 1920x1080 is now available under display settings and works.
