XFree86 doesn't have any built in 2048x1536 modes,
but your monitor wrote the following into the log file:

(II) MGA(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) MGA(0): clock: 238.8 MHz   Image Size:  424 x 318 mm
(II) MGA(0): h_active: 2048  h_sync: 2136  h_sync_end 2232 h_blank_end 
2488 h_border: 0
(II) MGA(0): v_active: 1536  v_sync: 1552  v_sync_end 1568 v_blanking: 
1600 v_border: 0
(II) MGA(0): Ranges: V min: 50  V max: 100 Hz, H min: 31  H max: 120 kHz, 
PixClock max 240 MHz

so
Modeline "2048x1536@60" 238.8 2048 2136 2232 2488 1536 1552 1568 1600 
many work, or you may need to experiment by adding +hsync, -hsync,
+vsync and or -vsync at the end of that line.
