I know that when EDID reports only 1280x1024, everything works fine, but for whatever reason, my LCD monitor reports 1024x768 first, and that's what it uses. I did some searching, and I'm not the only person who reports this problem. I found a patch for it online. I'll see if I can't dig that up for you.
