Make sure you have the package "xresprobe" installed. Then run as root:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

This will give you a few dialog pages, one of which will allow you
to select resolutions. If you can't select 1280x1024 then the driver
from Sarge might be too old. In that case you could try to switch to the
version of Xorg which is available on http://www.backports.org/.
