Keep correspondence on the list for your benefit and the
benefit of others.
The predefined modes such as 1024*768 depend upon correct
horizontal sync rate and vertical refresh rate. See "man
XF86Config-4"; in your XF86Config-4, HorizSync is 65-70, and
VertRefresh is 80-85. Neither of these may be correct; check them.
You get the correct horizontal and vertical refresh rates from
your monitor manual. Without them X is unable to correctly
determine which video modes work on your monitor.
