Is is just a typo that you have "1024 x768" with a space between "1024" and the "x"? If not, then remove that space. Also, browse through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it should tell you why it rejects a particular resolution. Here is a tiny snip from my Xorg.0.log file as an example: (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "512x384" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1280x960" (hsync out of range) (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "640x480" (hsync out of range) <snip> (WW) (1400x1050,Monitor0) mode clock 122MHz exceeds DDC maximum 110MHz <snip> (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1152x864" (width too large for virtual size) (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1152x768" (width too large for virtual size) (--) NV(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024) (**) NV(0): *Default mode "1024x768": 94.5 MHz, 68.7 kHz, 85.0 Hz And there are a lot more lines than this, and you can see that there are various reasons why X might not allow a particular resolution or setting.
