Do you have a modeline defined for Modes "1280x768_60" in your xorg.conf?

Also might try to see if you can start in 1024x768 or some such 
resolution then use xrandr to switch to your desired resolution after X 
starts.

I have an issue with my 3400HD (ATI), which the fglrx drivers won't 
start it in the right resolution, but xrandr can set it afterward.
