Nothing should be displayed. The command will switch the mode. "auto" means to switch to the default.
You could also try....
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1152x864 to see if that makes a change....
I noticed you "ssh'd" into the system. I don't know that xrandr would be effective when using a "remote" session. Can you try entering on the actual console?
