Perhaps you should known which resolutions support your chipset.
For example:
Intel® 82810
jump from 1280x1024 at 24 bit at 1600x1200 but only at 8 bit.
In the meantime you could try if you can use:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
If don't work at 1280*1024 perhaps you could tried to change:
#Using vesa instead of i810 as your driver.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
