XFree 4 has lost resolution

I'm in the process of upgrading my RedHat 7.1 system to 7.3.
This has a new X server major release, I understand.

This has not been good news for me.  Under 7.1, my monitor
ran comfortably at 1280x1024 resolution.  Under the new
X (4.0 something, I think), it recognized the monitor okay,
accepted my inputs about horizontal and vertical speeds,
and refuses to go over 1024x768.

I want that screen real estate back!  I notice that the
new XF86Config file does not have those pesky Modeline's
in it.  I wonder what else could be messed up?
