Yes, sax2 will simplify things. Where did you set the screen size? Does the
screen flicker a bit before reverting back to 1280x1024? Maybe it fails to
set 1024x768 at the start and then moves downwards to alternatives in
XF86Config.
If you don't use sax2 (which is just a front-end to editing XF86Config), try
editing the file yourself (make a backup first!):
The path is: /etc/X11/XF86Config
The relevant section will look something like this:
===================================
Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x960"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
Device "Ati1"
Identifier "Screen1"
Monitor "A90f"
EndSection
===================================
Hope it helps,
