[ltp] Resolution 1400x1050 but max window size 1280x1024?

Jeff,

If you check your log file (probably in /var/log) you will probably see 
something about higher resolutions being rejected because they can't be 
done within the refresh parameters of the device.  You have provided
     HorizSync   31.5-90
     VertRefresh 59-75

The main problem will be with the HorizSync max of 90.  I had a similar 
problem when I first fired my system up.  In the same log file hte 
maximum bit rates will be mentioned.  On mine, they are 400MHz at all 
depths.  A 400MHz bit rate translates into at least 250KHz horizontal 
refresh rate by my rough calculation.  I have
     HorizSync   100.0-150.0
     VertRefresh 43-110
