Yes, put grub.conf back to it's original content (replace the vga=775
line with vga=normal) and modify the "screen" section in
your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to look like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
FWIW, all I did was to add the "1280x1024" and "1024x768" entries in
the 'Modes' line and then restart X and you should end up with your
desired resolution(s).
