I've been looking into this for a couple of evenings now, patching
xserver-xorg-video-vmware to find out where and why 1920x1080 mode is
disappearning. Turns out I've been looking in the wrong place, since
1920x1080 is simply never there. Digging where these modes are really
coming from I found a builtin mode list is in the kernel, see:

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_kms.c

It's interesting that even latest Linux 3.10 doesn't have 1920x1080 in
there! Could someone push for this extremely common mode to be included
in the kernel?
