You could take this information and put it into a ModeLine in your
configuration file.

Section "Monitor"
    #Other stuff here
    ModeLine "1024x768" 78.654 1024 1056 1184 1312 768 772 776 792 #76Hz
EndSection

However, this is a workaround and the X server should have figured
this out for you automatically.

Evidently, the X server thinks these modes are too fast for your
monitor.  Check /etc/fb.modes and man fb.modes for possible
information.
