Open a terminal and enter "xrandr -q" to see what resolutions are 
available.  If 1280x1024 is available, you can change it using "xrandr 
-s 1280x1024" (see "man xrandr" and "xrandr -h" for more tips on how to 
use it).

If 1280x1024 is not available, then there may be something in the 
xserver configuration file, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Take a look and make 
sure it's not incorrectly specified.  Use "man xorg.conf" and "man 
intel" for tips.

Also, if some error occurred that is preventing the 1280x1024, it may be 
listed in the xserver log file:  /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  Take a look at it 
to see which resolutions were rejected and why.  If you see some error 
message, try entering it into a google search box to see if anyone else 
has already fixed it.
