Well, for starters, it is 1024x768. It wouldn't know a 758. On 5.3, I
was kind of lazy. All I have is the following:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
It used to be 1024x768 but 1024 on a 19" monitor is kind of under using
what you have :).
