Did you ever try (assuming you want 1280x1024 at 60Hz):

$ gtf 1280 1024 60
  Modeline "1280x1024_60.00"  108.88  1280 1360 1496 1712  1024 1025 1028 1060  -HSync +Vsync

Then insert the above line and the following one to the Monitor section
of your xorg.conf:
  Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00"
