Ah, yes. Try "xrandr --fb 1920x1080". I think "--mode" was for a
previous version of xrandr. Did just "xrandr" show the ability to do
1920x1080? I'm trying to see if your monitor or cable just isn't
reporting the EDID info properly.
I am not the original poster but I was just trying this method to
configure my screen. In my case 1280x1024. When I ran:
xrandr --fb 1289x1024
I got the error message:
xrandr: Failed to get the size of gamma for output default.
What does that mean?
Probably, it is because you are using a xorg.conf file.
Remove it and eventually do the same by using
xorg.conf.d/ files
