Please give some details about the actual model number of the monitor, the exact model of display card etc.
If you are using the radeon driver for instance specifying the radeon option for DDC is a good way of getting the mode information correct. Man radeon discusses the DDCMode parameter. Otherwise it may require that you need a ModeLine parameter in the monitor section. I needed to do this on my laptop to get 1920x1200 widescreen mode.

Unfortunately, you have provided no hard information, so you will get no hard answers. In short, however, you need to hand-tweak your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, apparently. Under 'Section "Monitor"', make sure you have accurate "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" lines. Under 'Section "Screen"', add/alter a couple lines: Default Depth 24 and under 'SubSection "Display"' add: Modes "1280x1024" (correct the Depth and Modes to the values you want, of course). You may be in business. You may not be, if your video card or X driver is incapable of driving your monitor at the desired depth and resolution, or if there is some other quirk in your hardware we can't see. Or if I'm forgetting something, which is possible. :) You can also try to use DDC, apparently it was default for 3.8, now for 3.9, DDC is disabled by default, and I'm glad (worked great when it worked, sucked big time when it didn't).
