Why do you do this? If you want to change resolution, you can use fbset.
And additionaly, 1280x1024 should be possible with standard vesafb
using vga=793 (or 794 or 795).

Do you have uvesafb in your kernel (or at least in your initrd)? If not
you'll need to add those options in /etc/modprobe.d/ and not on the GRUB
command line.
