1024x768 is "XGA."  Seems like they would advertise themselves as such if they were capable.
There's "XGA" the resolution, and there's "XGA" in the actual IBM XGA card and the matching monitor; originally XGA used the same 1024x768@43hz interlaced as 8514... which, again, is something that's hardly used anymore because 43hz interlaced was deemed massively headache inducing. (The IBM XGA adapter was *rapidly* superseded by an XGA-2 that supported non-interlaced modes.) The total bandwidth (dot clock/vsync) of a 800x600x60hz SVGA monitor are about the same as 8514/A so it's very possible the monitor here supports it. Not that it's useful or anything, though.
