Setting the monitor sync ranges did nothing. What did work was deleting the xorg.conf file and letting X regenerate it. After that, the screen was at 1280x1024 but the screen resolution app said 1440xsomething and the some gnome-panel apps were off the screen. After changing that to 1280x1024, it is perfect.
