I haven't seen the patch as you discussed off the mailing list, but my 
guess is this was not an incremental patch but rather a new version of 
the patch. What you did is fine, but it would have been faster to revert 
the old patch before applying the new one :
cd xf86-video-openchrome
patch -p1 -R < path/to/old_patch
patch -p1 < path/to/new_patch

Or alternatively, revert to plain git master in order to drop the 
changes from the patch :
git reset --hard origin/master

Bartosz, can you share the patch please (possibly on -devel) ?

This is not a bug. The first (preferred) resolution announced by the 
monitor is 1024x768, hence that is what is choosen by the driver. You 
should be able to change the resolution with xrandr tho :

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x720
