Allthough you did not say which version of X you are running, from
the looks of your config it is X 4. If I am correct, Gee I hate using
a crystal ball, your above mode lines might be your problem. The
XF86Config man page shows the format as this:
Mode "1024x768"
DotClock 85.00
HTimings 1024 1080 1200 1368
VTimings 768 776 779 823
EndMode
If your running X 3.x, I am I am wasting my time. Which wouldn't
happen if people gave some details with their problems.
