Your "Monitor" Section in the XF86Config-4 lists rather low values for
HorizSync and VertRefresh. Are you sure these are correct for your
monitor? What does the monitor handbook say?
If these settings are in fact valid, then your monitor is simply unable
to display at higher resolutions.
As a security measure X won't run at a resolution the monitor doesn't
seem to be able to handle, and thus selects a lower mode. Grep in your
XFree.log for "mode" and you will see...

Hm, I don't know about that...

This is the mode X selects as being closest to your original choice of
1280x1024 and of which your monitor is still capable.

Hm, your type of monitor, perhaps?
BTW, you have two mice configured, you can safely delete the section for
"Generic Mouse" and delete the reference in the Section "Server
Layout".
