What modeline calculator?

If it won't do this for you automagically, it's only a standard ratio LCD,
it can't be that hard.

Throw all of those away. It's an LCD, it'll work at 60Hz.  For now, you want
it to work with one modeline.

Comment out anything that isn't 1280x1024.  All those "not within DDC ..."
messages are specifically saying that you have modelines specified that
aren't valid for the hardware.

Use:
 gtf 1280 1024 60

Insert that modeline, and comment out anything else.
