While those extra resolutions are indeed smaller and thus should work, note
that 1280x1024 is 5:4 and the others are 4:3, so switching to them will
involve a bit of shape distortion (around 6-7%). Resolutions that are the
same shape (960x760, 640x512) probably involve custom mode(line)s.

And if this file works without the metamodes stuff, that'd be great news for
me.

AFAICT it should work fine. (IANAComputer)
