All of the preconfigured 1280x1024 modes put the monitor to into unknown
frequency mode.
That's strange. All of the built-in modes are well within the
frequency specs of the monitor, at least according to the scanty
information I can find online.
What does work, is just using defaults, but then it
Only comes up as 1024x768, and since it's an LCD, and that
it's non-native Resolution, it's not very crisp.
That's even weirder. If the panel's native resolution is
1280x1024 then that's what the Sun Ray should drive,
assuming that 'utxconfig' or 'utresadm' aren't forcing it to do
otherwise. I wonder whether the Sun Ray is failing to parse
the monitor's DDC response correctly. But that wouldn't
explain why it won't sync even when you use 'utsettings' to
force a timing.

How can I determine what the utresdef settings would be for the 1024x768
resolution that does work? I wonder if I just plugged in 1280x1024 with the
Horiz and vert that I have, would it work?
That wouldn't work. The timing definition consists of a bunch
of numbers that are all interdependent. You can't take a
1024x768 definition, change just a couple of numbers and
come out with a sane 1280x1024 timing.
Do you have any information at all on the details of the video
signal that this monitor requires? Even an XFree/Xorg
modeline would be helpful.
Given that the Sun Ray built-in 1280x1024 timings are all
boring middle-of-the-road timings with a proven history I wonder
whether the monitor is getting confused not by the timing but
by something else, say the polarity of the sync pulses.
