Perhaps it's how you got the other modes already, but the trick I used 
to find 0x344 was to take a listed 1400x1050 mode from my xorg log (in 
this case 144), and add 0x200 to get the equivalent kernel parameter 
(I'm not sure what the relevance of this addition is - just found the 
technique with google & seemed to work for me!)

If you've not already tried that - there might be other mode numbers you 
can uncover that way.
