The magic piece I think you're missing (at least you didn't mention
it) is xrandr. As long as your xorg.conf has both 1280x800 and
1280x1024 defined as available resolutions, xrandr ought to be able to
switch between them easily. I did this all the time with my IBM T30's
1400x1050 LCD, my 1600x1200 CRT, and my 1024x768 projector. Worked
perfectly as long as I remembered to change the resolution *before*
suspending the laptop.
