EDID Modelines Direct From Your TV/Monitor (The Collection).
It is an example of how the cirrus X-server and standard modelines were deliberately made to not work for all but a few (5) screen sizes and refresh rates.
Or, you know, it could be that the Cirrus server hardly gets much testing anymore, since their chips haven't been popular for over a decade (QEMU notwithstanding).

NOPE. The Vesa driver gives exactly the same results.
The VESA driver finds even less suitable modelines (than the cirrus driver).
Also, the VESA driver gives much less relevant information.
It only tells you that it has found 3 suitable modelines (it doesn't "find" the 1152x768 line at all):
(II) VESA(0): Total Memory: 64 64KB banks (4096kB)
(II) VESA(0): Monitor[vesa]: Using hsync range of 31.00-48.00 kHz
(II) VESA(0): Monitor[vesa]: Using vrefresh range of 50.00-60.00 Hz
(II) VESA(0): Not using mode "default" (no mode of this name)
(--) VESA(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024)
(**) VESA(0): Built-in mode "1024x768"
(**) VESA(0): Built-in mode "800x600"
(**) VESA(0): Built-in mode "640x480"
(==) VESA(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
(**) VESA(0): Option "ModeSetClearScreen" "no"
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 60Hz refresh for mode "1024x768" (117)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 60Hz refresh for mode "800x600" (114)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 60Hz refresh for mode "640x480" (111)
