Oddly enough, that's the one thing that worked just right here with xorg 
7.3.  My 1280x1024 monitor comes up in that mode.

That's an old-style xorg.conf, but both the mga and radeon drivers are 
xrandr-1.2.  Some of the changes needing to be made are described here:

http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12

Note particularly the suggestions on removing HorizSync, VertRefresh, 
and ModeLines from the Monitor section.

For a single monitor, I'd set the virtual screen size to the same size 
as the monitor:

Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Screen0"
         Device     "Card0"
         Monitor    "Monitor0"
         SubSection "Display"
                 Virtual    1280 1024
         EndSubSection
EndSection

One thing that may have helped me is that I went through the logs and 
removed everything unnecessary or duplicated from my xorg.conf:

A single monitor setup would not have that Option "Position" "1024 0" 
entry in the Monitor section.
