no obvious problem in the xf86config file.
when all fails, use the framebuffer :) and Xfbdev (fbdev driver instead
of vesa)

you might need a patch called vesafb-tng to reach such size.
I haven't tried successfully though. Appending the proper
parameters -append "video=vesafb:1600x1200@60", I
basically reach at most 1280x1024.
