By the way: I found this thread at the Ubuntu-forum:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=594661

I used it to set the correct resolution using:
root@ubuntu904x64:~# cvt 1280 1024
# 1280x1024 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.31M4) hsync: 63.67 kHz; pclk: 109.00 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
root@ubuntu904x64:~# xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
root@ubuntu904x64:~# xrandr --verbose --addmode VGA1 "1280x1024_60.00"
root@ubuntu904x64:~# xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024_60.00

However, if I try to incorporate these values in /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
I get a gdm error on the next reboot, after which gdm is trying to fix it. Although I get back in Gnome the resolution is 1368x768, not 1280x1024 ;-(
