Yes those are both the same thing. Those numbers are enough to do 1280x1024.

No.

It's not going to be X that cannot do it. You either have not configured X to
match your h/w or the h/w is not capable.

Not a BIOS problem either. It does not know anything about what your video
does as the video uses it's own bios. Youa re missing information on your

problem at all.
