Comment 4 for bug 98904

Thanks for all the information.

This is actually the opposite of the problem most people get. ;-)

Can you please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the error message you received when booting with the 1280 resolution? Normally X should be smart enough to detect that this resolution is too high, and not try it. The error message and Xorg.0.log will give us better information.
