Monitor Reports Strange Mode

FreeBSD 9.0 (RC2),
ASUS P9X79 motherboard, Intel i7-3930k,
Diamond Radeon HD 6708, ASUS VS228 monitor.

Because FreeBSD does not support KMS (The only modern OS not to), I have to use the vesa driver. The monitor supports 1920x1028.

Code:
# xrandr

   640x480        75.0     72.8     60.0
My monitor reports a strange mode, "1920x1028"x60.0

I tried using modelines with the same entries, but, X would not use them.

From /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Code:
(II) VESA(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines:
(II) VESA(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x0.0  148.50  1920 2008 2052 2200  1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync (67.5 kHz)
(II) VESA(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x60.0  172.80  1920 2040 2248 2576  1080 1081 
1084 1118 -hsync +vsync (67.1 kHz)
How may I get 1920x1080?

You can't. Unless the manufacturer programmed 1920x1080 in the VESA table on the video card, the vesa driver can't use that resolution.
