You're right that the dropdown doesn't show 1280x1024, but I'm
directly editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The resolution problem happens
even with GDM, before I've got anywhere near the gnome desktop, so its a
fundamental X oddity as far as I can see.

Device Manager is showing the correct card details so everything seems
to be happily seeing everything else, they're just not doing what I
tell 'em...  or maybe they are and I'm telling 'em the wrong things
somewhere - more likely!!!
