I found a workaround.
In a terminal:
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080"  173.00  1920 2048 2248 2576  1080 1083 1088 1120 
-hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode Virtual1 1920x1080
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 1920x1080

And the display is set to the correct resolution and all works fine.
The problem is when I restart the system, I have an error window with:

Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors
none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes:
CRTC 63: Trying modes for ......... with output at 1920x1080@60hz (pass 0)
....
CRTC 63: Trying modes for 800x600@60hz with output at 1920x1080@60hz (pass 1)
....
and the monitor starts with 800x600 resolution.

So, I did again the commands of above and the resolution go fine to
1920x1080.
