Nobody ever bothered to implement proper video mode handling (VC2) into
the driver, therefore the driver relies on the prom to set some things
up. The prom on the other hand gets the monitor type from the nvram
(don't know if the card also senses pins) which can be changed currently
from IRIX only.
I'll at least fix the driver to detect the current resolution properly.

Can you repeat the experiment and check if it gives you 1280x1024 with
the 8bit board?
