OK, that did not work. I was hoping for simple and clear output like this:
HorizSync 30-61
VertRefresh 56-75

Why don't you try the simplest possible configuration settings:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
and this type of entry in the "Screen" section:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
This works perfectly on my laptop (both for the LCD screen and for
beamers), without any Mode lines or specified frequencies.
You could also google for "DXS:1313 HorizSync VertRefresh" and use one
of the search results as a template for your xorg.conf.
