In the console, open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a text editory (nano/pico or vim), and change the following line in the Screen section from:

Code:
        Modes      "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"


to:
Code:
        Modes      "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"


And it should efault to 1024x768.

As for it not working at 1024x768, what kind of connection are you using and what video card / drivers are you using? If it's nVidia card and you're using the pre-installed "nv" drivers, that's probably your problem.
