May be in much details:

in your dmesg you should find
...
STI device: INTERNAL...
...
fb0: stifb 1280*1024-8 frame buffer device
           ^^^^^^^^^ ^

If your device is well supported (if not it would tell it),
in the XF86Config-4, you should match in Section "Screen" your actual DefaultDepth
with here 8 (from -8 above) and in the corresponding SubSection "Display"
your actual Modes: here 1280*1024 (and only this; switching is not possible)

hth,
