I'll answer myself! :-)

I got rid of the 1280x1024 entry in xorg.conf, and I also put my
custom modeline 1280x960 entry as the first resolution in the list.
This worked!

Maybe this will help someone else someday. Just a word of caution, not
to use my same modeline unless you're sure it works for you. I
generated it here: http://www.sh.nu/nvidia/gtf.php
