Re: Trouble getting my screen resolution correct.
Does your X86Config-4 file contain a modeline for 1280x1024?
The xserver contains some internal modelines for "normal resolutions" but
requires you add a modeline for others. I had the same problem trying to get
1152x864. You might try xvidtune to generate a modeline, I am sure there are
other tools available, or if you have a copy of an XF86config file for XFree86
version 3 which had worked for your video card and monitor you can copy this
to your XF86Config-4 file, below is where I placed my modeline in my
XF86Config-4 file.
