The xrandr output is taken from the TV itself, so if it is reporting that it can do 1280x1024, X will try to use that resolution. The way to solve this is to teach the kernel to not provide that resolution for this particular piece of hardware using a 'quirk'. Unfortunately since no X or kernel logs are included it's not possible to construct this.

Are you still able to reproduce this behavior on Ubuntu Precise? If you don't want to install Ubuntu Precise, it should be sufficient to boot a Live USB session, configure the monitors, and see if it is working properly now. You can get the current Live USB desktop image at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and create a USB boot drive using usb-creator.

If it still occurs, please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, the output of 'xrandr --verbose', and the output of 'sudo dmesg > dmesg.txt'.
