I have put in the maximum values (found them from the manual).
Still no luck.

Running potato. So, downloaded the sources and compiled them.
Installed them. Configuration is much easier. But still I do not get
the 1152x864 screen.
   
A portion of my new XF86Config-4:

   Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "SAM:3610"
        HorizSync       31.5-60
        VertRefresh     50-100
        Option          "DPMS"
   EndSection

The modeline portion of my earlier config that would work:

  # 640x480 @ 100 Hz, 53.01 kHz hsync
  Modeline "640x480"     45.8   640  672  768  864   480  488  494  530 -HSync -VSync
  # 800x600 @ 85 Hz, 55.84 kHz hsync
  Modeline  "800x600"    60.75  800  864  928 1088   600  616  621  657 -HSync -VSync
  # 1024x768 @ 70 Hz, 56.5 kHz hsync
  Modeline "1024x768"    75    1024 1048 1184 1328   768  771  777  806 -hsync -vsync
  # 1152x864 @ 60 Hz, 53.5 kHz hsync
  Modeline  "1152x864"   89.9  1152 1216 1472 1680   864  868  876  892 -HSync -VSync
  #

As the frequencies are within the specified range, I feel that I
should get the resolutions. But I do not. Is there something that we
are missing?
