There is a tech-X11 mailing list where this question my be suited
better. ;-)

I am using 1408 x 1056 at work. IIRC I had to construct a modeline for
this resolution.

A problem can be that 1400 and 1050 are not divisible by 32. I had this
problem at work and solved it by using a resolution of 1408 x 1056 =3D=20
(3 x 11 x 32) x (4 x 11 x 32). (3 x 4 is the usual aspect ratio of CRTs
and 11 an arbitrary scaling factor.)
