the driver seems to be rejecting all modes except 1400x1050 and
1280x1024.  I'm not sure why off hand.  you might try generating a
custom modeline for 1024x768.  Did 1024x768 work in a previous version
of xfree86?  I seem to recall a similar discuss a while back on one of
the xfree86 ML's but I don't remember what the outcome was.
