Install did not recognize my LCD monitor, probably due to the old KVM. Anyway, I went to config monitor after install (logged in as root) and selected the monitor in my NOC where this box is going to live anyway. I then had to exit X and restart it for this selection to take.
It this point the resolution was 1280x1024 which was unreadable. I changed it to 1024x768 which works well.
However at bootup and for the login screen the resolution is still 1280x1024. How do I change this?

The default /etc/X11/xorg.conf is to auto detect resolution. You can edit xorg.conf and add a modes line to the xorg.conf file (in the "Display" subsection) like this:
SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection
