I don't know what your problem is, but you might get a partial solution
until the right one is found by trying a couple other modes:
1152x864
1280x960
Like 1024x768, these two are standard 4/3 aspect ratio modes, while
1280x1024 is a bastard 5/4 mode that works by using rectangular instead
of square pixels. Most implementations of 1280x1204 that I have seen get
the implementation wrong and display everything proportionally wider and
shorter than what they should.
