Ok, so here is the workaround... while we expect for a solution. Considering my xorg file above, I added in "programs at session startup", the following command:
xrandr --output default --mode 1280x1024 This uses the Modeline as defined in the xorg.conf file, and thus now the xorg log shows: ... [ 3836.645] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device. [ 3836.645] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
