from your config ..

# 1280x1024 @ 87 Hz interlaced, 51 kHz hsync
Modeline "1280x1024"   80    1280 1296 1512 1568  1024 1025 1037 1165 
Interlaced

appears to be the only modeline you were using.

according to your monitor specs it looks within specs as far as
resolution/refresh go. but you were running it in interlaced mode which
very well could damage a monitor if it doesnt support it(I
believe).  Interlaced modelines are usually for real shit monitors or
monitors that are at the absolute limit of their support. 

see http://www.adiusa.com/product_6p.html

Resolution
Maximum: 1600X1200 @ 75Hz(PC)
Recommended: 1280X1024 @ 85Hz (PC)

only potential prob i see is the interlaced part
