I agree with Manuel. I don't see how this XF86Config could be the
file that was actually read, (a) because of the name as Manuel
pointed out, (b) because the strings
(**) Mach64: Graphics device ID: "Primary Card"
------------
(**) Mach64: Monitor ID: "Primary Monitor"
---------------
don't appear in XF86Config, and (c) because the log file doesn't
show any modes being deleted yet the modes underlined ==========
thusly cannot be used with
HorizSync 30-64 # multisync
VertRefresh 50-90

Your highest practical modelines are underlined ~~~~~~~~~~ thusly:
