If you have two screen, the above settings might not default the screen to the required solution. So maybe you want to add these lines to the file ~/.xprofile :

xrandr --newmode "1368x768_86.00"  127.50  1368 1456 1600 1832  768 771 781 810 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1368x768_86.00"
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1368x768_86.00"
 

Or just this line if you want to use the combination above:

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1368x768_86.00"
