The monitor IS "emulating" 1024x768. A 1024x768 pixel does not exactly align with _any_ of the pixels on your display. Every pixel of 1024x768 information is being displayed as some closest approximation of some small group of the monitors 1280x1024 pixels.
They are saying that the most technically correct way to get what you want, larger text, icons, and widgets, is to tell the X server the correct size of you monitor so that it can correctly scale the things it displays to you. It will do a better job and produce cleaner imagery than letting the monitor scale everything.
But all that said, you should still be free to do it the "wrong" way if you want. Forcing the monitor to scale an arbitrary incoming signal to fill the screen is crude but entirely your prerogative. I kind of wish more of the answers would tackle the question you asked instead of trying to get you to accept an answer to a question you didn't ask. But I'm guilty of doing that myself if I think the asker has no idea what they're asking about.
So with that being said, how do I - easily - change the DPI ? Is it in YAST ?
