1) What error message do you see when you say:

executor -size 1024x768

2) What does "executor -info" say?

3) Have you tried installing UniVBE?  It could help, but it may not
   know about your video card...your card sounds pretty new.

If all this fails, it could be that Executor is deciding it doesn't
like your video driver's description of the 1024x768 video mode for
some reason.  I can email you a video test program that we can use to
perhaps figure out why Executor doesn't like those higher video modes.
