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

When a session is first started without running xrandr, what is the output from 'xrandr -q' run in Xterm or Konsole?

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.
