Not exactly what I wanted, but acceptable. I have 2 solutions:
a) in /etc/gdm/Init/Default file, before exit 0:
xrandr -s 3
(in the case, 3 stands for 800x600; can be tested by xrandr -q in xterm)
Disadvantage: fonts are unchanged, the same damn small as in 1280x1024,
dunno why :(
b) in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 :
Modes "800x600" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
so I initialy get 800x600 virt 1280x1024
in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
SetPosition=true
PositionX=130
PositionY=110
this gives me the login screen positioned almost central.
Better than nothing.
