ok, those should be classified as "beta".. still, stability is not an intrinsic property of open source software. It's just somewhat easier to achieve in the OSS gfx drivers due to reduced features, thus reduced code complexity.

Because of the infinite variation of packages, versions, and patchsets, something dynamic, like open source drivers, which can be adjusted to match the particular conditions, will naturally be more stable than a static blob that is designed for a much more rigid set of conditions.

Note: It is NOT the job of the driver to override defective input data, it is the job of the monitor to provide good information about its characteristics. If this weren't the case, then there would be no need to supply an EDID -- just manufacturer and model ID numbers.
Here's how you can force a mode without having to hack the driver: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting

1440x900=1296000
1280x1024=1310720
1600x1200=1920000
So the 1440x900 would fit under the 1280x1024
