VESA capabilities are fairly limited, there is a select list of predefined modes in the video BIOS, X may default at lower resolution (800x600).. you can try choosing another by one listed in xrandr output, i.e: xrandr -s 1024x768.

Based on the Xorg.0.log output on the first page, replacing your Monitor section with the following MIGHT help if no other modes are listed in xrandr output.
Code:
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "FLATRON 775FT"
	DisplaySize 310 230
	VertRefresh 50-160
	HorizSync 30-70
	Modeline "1024x768"  78.80  1024 1040 1136 1312  768 769 772 800 +hsync +vsync
	Modeline "1152x864"  108.00  1152 1216 1344 1600  864 865 868 900 +hsync +vsync
EndSection
As for fluxbox, configuration is done inside text files, they're in ~/.fluxbox/ and the website has some fairly good documentation.

Good luck.
