What happens if you leave the reqular 1400x1050 configuration, then edit 
/etc/X11/XFree86 so "1024x768" is listed along with "1400x1050" and 
"1280x1024" ? can you switch to 1024 mode then?

What's in /var/log/Xfree86.0.log ?

What chip/driver is used? Does the driver haave any tuning variable for 
the CRT output that might have changed defaults?

I had to play with my C&T card setting to get a workable display. It 
defaulkted to stretch mode for 640x480, and was horrid, tweaking the 
options fixed that, and I get 640x800 center on the screen, unstreched.
