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 :).
