Maybe the old style will work?

Section "Screen"
   Identifier       "Default Screen"
   Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
   Device          "Configured Video Device"
   DefaultColorDepth 24
   Subsection "Display"
      Depth 24
      Modes          "1280x1024"
   EndSubsection
EndSection


Or xrandr might work. If you start up with the monitor switched
to the other computer, can you then change the resolution with
this command?

xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024

You might need to change the "VGA" part to something else.

xrandr -q will give you some info, the second line should have
something like: "VGA connected...." or "LVDS connected...." or
similar.  Change the --output option to that identifier.

If the xrandr mode command works to change your resolution,
you could put it in a startup script like ~/.xsession
