    Edit this entry (as root) in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
    Section "Screen"
            Identifier "Screen0"
            Device "Videocard0"
            Monitor "Monitor0"
            DefaultDepth 24
            SubSection "Display"
                    Viewport 0 0
                    Depth 16
                    Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
            EndSubSection
            SubSection "Display"
                    Viewport 0 0
                    Depth 24
                    Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
            EndSubSection
    EndSection

    In the above section just erase the entries for the resolution you don't
    want, in this case 1280x960. In this file the entries are read by X from
    left to right, meaning that the first resolution listed is the default
    mode to use, but the others are useable resolutions too. Also to lessen
    a bit the overhead on the card, you may choose a mode of 16 bits of
    depth instead of the default 24.

    Hope this helps.

    Gian.
