Do you use 1280x1024 at all?
If not - removing that resolution from xorg.conf does it.
If you use 1280x1024 later on you should change place with
1024x768 on the line in xorg.conf like so

Code: Select all

SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1024x768" "1280x1024" "640x480" "800x600"
	EndSubSection
The first resolutions is the default, but you can set another in "Change screen resolution" in the menu
Before you edit backup xorg.conf

Code: Select all

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak
Then

Code: Select all

 gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and make the changes - there are several subsections, one for each color depth
There is no simpler way I'm afraid
