Endless Problems with XF86Config, what am I doing wrong?

Folks, Similar to the thread below, I am trying to move beyond 640 x 480. In the spirit if Linux do-it-yourself, I spent a good 7-8 hours trying permutations of XF86Config and googling around the net trying various combinations "Linux", "no modes available", "XF86Config", "device" "7600/120",
