I am guessing that the CRT is of the older type and it doesn't report
its available resolutions, unlike the LCD.
I would reinstall the EMC version that worked best on your hardware,
and then edit the X configuration file
to explicitly specify the monitor parameters (horizontal and vertical
frequency range), along the lines of

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "CM752ET"
    HorizSync     31-101
    VertRefresh    60-160
EndSection

and call out the desired display resolution in  Section "Screen"

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor        "CM752ET"
    DefaultDepth    16
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth        16
        Modes      "1280x1024"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
