For me, I had to add an extra line, please try on following:

i.e:

xrandr --newmode "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode VGA1 1440x900_60.00

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900_60.00

Regards

I have just found the answer. I typed in the terminal cvt 1280 1024 and it just gave me the modeline.
