Thanks for your reply,
I do in fact have nvidia module
nvidia               4703828  32
And I just tried again with a slightly modified xorg.conf-vesa
pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
http://pastebin.com/f4473d964
And I was able to get 1280x720  Looks ok for now, so...
Let's take a look at my log file again:
pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
