Right now I am fighting with same problem on my T61p (NVidia Quadro FX 570 M)
with VESA driver not using 1920x1200.

However, I might have a tip for you based on my Ubuntu-on-MacMini experiences.

There is a tool 915resolution that allows to patch another resolution in most
intel cards' list of modes.

For most distros their should be packages and config helpers.
Basically something like ...
sudo 915resolution 5c 1400x1050
... could help you.
