This may be because the monitor is not providing suitable information to xorg, so it serves up 1024x768 so as not to disappoint you.
I have a KVM (IOGEAR GCS78)that doesn't seem to pass through monitor information. :-(
Normally, I provide monitor information to the X server via xorg.conf, using the xorg.conf.new generated by "Xorg -configure" as a starting point. But, as I stated before, the generated xorg.conf.new is broken.
