This looks like it could be a real bug.  If there's really no mention of
"1920x1440" in the XF86Config file, then the "(**)" at the start of that
line is certainly wrong.  And if the config file does specify Mode
"1920x1440" then XFree86 -configure goofed.  So either way it's a bug. 
You'd better fill out the form

You should probably mention this mailing list thread in the bug report.

In the interim, you might be able to work around it by adding something
like

        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection

to the "Screen" section of the XF86Config.
