In some of the little I've played with such things, it
has appeared that the VESA report of available modes
does not always include resolutions that are out of
the ordinary, and without that, I doubt the VESA
driver will be able to put it into that mode.  Not to
discourage you, but just be aware that your issue
might go deeper than vgadb.
