[XFree86] Still messin around with ModeLines...

Hello all!!!

I hope Brian Richardson will read this too and answer as he did in the
past weeks... but anyone else's help will be appreciated!

Now, I tweaked my XF86Config file as follows:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "NORTEK"
        ModelName    "KENDO1511"
#       DisplaySize  305        230
#       HorizSync    31.0 - 60.0
#       VertRefresh  56.0 - 75.0
        HorizSync    30.0 - 80.0
        VertRefresh  56.0 - 100.0
        Option      "dpms"
        ModeLine    "SOG" 94.116 1024 1061 1198 1364 768 770 783 814
-HSync -VSync
EndSection

I didn't want to add another monitor, therefore I just added the
ModeLine I need to use to the existing Monitor.
Therefore I also made some changes to the "Screen" Section:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1024x768" "SOG" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1024x768" "SOG" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

As everybody can see, I added my personal ModeLine (called SOG) into the
Display Subsections. I thought this should be sufficient to get my
monitor working, and I rebooted my PC.
It obviously came up with the standard 15" LCD Screen I'm using, with
24bit Depth and 1024x768 Mode. OK... I powered-off the 15" and connected
the 19" Workstation Monitor, powered it on and after few seconds I was
seeing an "Ant race" on that screen. That was alright, because I was
still using "1024x768" standard VESA Mode, which can't be right for my
Workstation Monitor. I pressed "CTRL+ALT+[keypad-plus-sign]" and hoped
to jump over to "SOG" Mode. Nothing changed!!! Still an "Ant race",
differently shaped, but still NO IMAGE. OK... I switched back to my
15"-LCD and tried to switch through the Modes. I should have gotten ONE
MODE AT LEAST (SOG) which shouldn't have given any image at all! That
was not happening... I was still browsing only through 3 MODES!!! 

So, what am I doing wrong here?

Thank you all...
