Is it really a case of needing a "driver," or is it just that we need a
way to supply new EDID info to the system?  There are EDID editors.

In most cases, you just need to set information like pixel dimensions,
screen dimensions, and clock rate, to get the graphics chipset to
output the right things.  It's not like you're also remote controlling
the buttons that a monitor might have (well, not usually).

Or, since he is using a VM, could it be the same behavior I see in my qemu VM's?

If I run a KDE or GNOME desktop with gdm as my display manager the display will resize to whatever
the VM's window size is.

If I use sddm, then it doesn't.  And I have to pick the resolution from what the system-settings has
determined to be available.  I've not gone so far as to try adding modlines since for what I'm doing
with my VMs the available resolutons are just fine.
