Try hardcoding the resolution you desire in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  The
section you want is near the end of the file.  There may be more than
one resolution specified, add "1280x768" at the beginning of the list of
modes.  The HorizSync and VertRefresh values in the monitor section must
be appropriate for you display. Good luck.
