on my laptop with Intel 965 chipset I can set the proper 1280x800 
resolution of the display. I didn't have system-config-display 
installed.. but gnome-display-properties was installed.. Perhaps you 
can try that.

In system-config-display did you try setting the monitor to Generic 
LCD 1440x900 or some other thing?

Also look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log You can see if it is using the proper 
   'intel' driver and what the available modes are

in my log file I can see that my hardware combination supports the 
following:


(II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x59.9   71.00  1280 1328 1360 1440 
800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz)
II) intel(0): Modeline "1024x768"x60.0   65.00  1024 1048 1184 1344 
768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync (48.4 kHz)
(II) intel(0): Modeline "800x600"x60.3   40.00  800 840 968 1056  600 
601 605 628 +hsync +vsync (37.9 kHz)
(II) intel(0): Modeline "640x480"x59.9   25.18  640 656 752 800  480 
490 492 525 -hsync -vsync (31.5 kHz)

those are some places to start looking.
