I think I got the problem @ManoAmer has (not that I have a solution):
When he logs out, display resolution changes to unsupported, and the monitor displays "Out of range", so he changes the resolution in the terminal mode.

So, the problem seems that for some reason, Login Screen uses different display settings than the logged-in user.

xrandr will give a list of possible resolutions in it's output. To change to 1280x1024, assuming it's in the output,type xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1280x1024 but make sure it's an option listed by xrandr
