OK, I guess this is running in a window?  Have you set the 
"stretchwindow" switch to make the window larger?  Check the setting of 
that switch, maybe it's set to "on", which would try to make the window 
1280x1024.

That's very odd.  Does fullscreen work normally otherwise?  I mean, does 
it actually go into fullscreen mode when you turn it on?

It'd be good if you could experiment a bit, turn off or on some switches 
and see if you can find out which one it is that causes this.
