Well, after 15 hours of experimenting, I have 1024x768 working!
Getting PreferredMode to work was the main thing, I think. It was
literally on my last try, before I reinstalled Ubuntu, that I got it
to work, lol. Maybe these note will be of value to another nooby.
thanks again!
There 3 things that I needed:
1) A modeline from the Modeline Calculator website
2) To use the RefreshRate in the PreferredMode option
3) To use the RefreshRate in the Modes line
