Since a suitable looking modeline already exists in your X server
configuration file, it's likely that the modeline is being dropped from
the list of valid modes when X starts.
Take a look at your X server log (either /var/log/XFree86.0.log or
/var/log/Xorg.0.log) for output similar to:
(II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range)
The message in parenthesis explains why X thinks the mode is not
appropriate. There are a couple of different messages that may appear,
so don't look for precisely the same output as my example.
Once you know if X is dropping the mode you want to use, and why, you
can start tweaking the configuration to get the modeline to be seen as
valid by X.
