Perhaps it really is in 1280x800 and its lying?
2) You can install the "laptop-mode tools" and follow the instructions
to adjust the power management of your laptop as well as hard disk
tuning among other things.
I will try this. Thanks. :)

It should be obvious what to do, but here is an example from my laptop:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
If you are using the regular vesa driver, I do not believe that it
supports "weird" resolutions. Almost all of the other drivers (the
intel ones, nvidia, ati etc.) should support this resolution.
I also use klaptop to display the battery charge and to suspend the machine.
