If you run 'xrandr'  with no arguments, it will tell you all
acceptable modes and the device name:

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 64 x 64, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32766 x 32766
VGA-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1920x1080     60.00*+  60.00*
   2560x1600     60.00
   2560x1440     60.00
   2048x1536     60.00
   1920x1600     60.00
   1600x1200     60.00
   1680x1050     60.00
   1400x1050     60.00

   800x600       60.00
   640x480       60.00

1440x900 is not on my list.
