confused in NM

[Dave Mallery <dmallery@cia-g.com>]

i still can't get my Xserver to allow me to change resolutions.  it 
accepts the first available ModeLine in XF86Setup and rejects the
rest with:
(**) P9000: Mode "1024x768": mode clock =  75.000
(**) P9000: Mode "1280x1024": mode clock = 108.000
(--) P9000: The dimensions of mode 1280x1024 do not match those of
        the first valid mode (1024x768).
(--) P9000: Removing mode "1280x1024" from list of valid modes.
(--) P9000: Virtual resolution set to 1024x768

i don't have a clue what 'dimension' it is talking about.

from /etc/X11/X11Config:

Mach64)

and earlier:

ModeLine "1280x1024" 108  1280 1307 1483 1664  1024 1032 1040 1068

any one of these will work...

i can't discern anything wrong.

i'd appreciate any insight.
