I was stuck at 1024x758 before creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows which works well to allow me to have a resolution of 1920x1200 with the vesa driver.

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
    Driver      "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "Configured Monitor"
    HorizSync 24.0 - 83.0
    VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Default Screen"
    Monitor     "Configured Monitor"
    Device      "Configured Video Device"
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport    0 0
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1920x1200"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

But now my display is kind of slow. I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT but really cannot find how to set up the driver to work.

Are there any alternatives to VESA that would work faster?

Perhaps an xserver update solves your issue... just follow the steps here: How to upgrade intel graphics package?
