FWIW, 1280x1024 is not a "Widescreen" resolution.  More likely
resolutions for a widescreen display would be 1680x1050 or 1280x800.
Both have a 16:10 aspect ratio.

Your monitor should correctly report it's native resolution in its
EDID info.  This should be in your Xorg log.   If you don't specify
any resolution or timings, X might use the one reported by EDID.
