..duh, "man xrefresh" should give you another set of fix ideas.

..ok, try one of the resolutions below and see if one of those
fixes the "overwriting", if that works, you should be able to
make a slightly slower 1366x768 modeline work, backing off to
say 46.5kHz and 59.9Hz or some such.
..do you have grandr installed? The cli way:
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
..to make new 1366x768 modelines the _old_ way, install videogen
and have fun tweaking your new modelines. ;o)
