The xrandr output is taken from the TV itself, so if it is reporting
that it can do 1280x1024, X will try to use that resolution.  The way to
solve this is to teach the kernel to not provide that resolution for
this particular piece of hardware using a 'quirk'.  Unfortunately since
no X or kernel logs are included it's not possible to construct this.

Are you still able to reproduce this behavior on Ubuntu Precise?  If you
don't want to install Ubuntu Precise, it should be sufficient to boot a
Live USB session, configure the monitors, and see if it is working
properly now.    You can get the current Live USB desktop image at
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and create a USB boot
drive using usb-creator.

If it still occurs, please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, the output
of 'xrandr --verbose', and the output of 'sudo dmesg > dmesg.txt'.
