Please provide Xorg.0.log or its journalctl equivalent - without having run
xrandr in the session.
What brand and model is your display?

Bad sign that all outputs show as disconnected, which may be why only the
native 2560x1440 and 4:3 modes are listed, and you get no offer of 1366x768.
1-Does the list differ with 'xrandr -q --output eDP-1'?
2-Does the list change if you start an IceWM session instead of Plasma?
3-Does the list change if you create a file containing, or modify one
somewhere in /etc/X11/xorg.con*, to include:
Option "DefaultModes" "on"
in
Section "Monitor"
in either a Plasma session or an IceWM session?
4-Does it help if you start a Plasma session with:
a-'Option "PreferredMode" "1366x768"' in 'Section
"Monitor"', and
b-Disabled automatic startup of kscreen (set under [Module-kscreen]
'autoload=false' in kdedrc) (this can be done in systemsettings,
but I don't remember where it's squirreled away)
5-'dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-intel' will cause use of the modesetting driver
integral to F24's Xorg server instead of the Intel-specific driver. Optionally,
instead of package removal, /etc/X11/xorg.con* 'Section "Device"' can be
used
to specify use of the modesetting driver instead of intel (less simple than
simply removing the driver package). Does doing so help?
6-Last but not least, probably best tried first, include on your bootloader cmdline:
video=1366x768@60
If this does it, reconfiguring Grub2 to specify that gfxmode should have the same
result, but as I don't use Grub2, I can't test it.
