I think you need to put that in a modeline section, i.e.:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "NORTEK"
...
UseModes "SOG"
EndSectionSection "Modes"
Identifier "SOG"
Modeline "1024x768" 94.116 1024 1061 1198 1364 768 770 783 814 -HSync -VSync
EndSection
Except, that you'll want to call the modeline "1024x768" I think rather than "SOG" as noted above. I'm not sure that "SOG" for the identifier of the modeline itself would work. If that doesn't work, you'll need to look at your X log and see if it threw away that modeline for some reason.
Hope that helps,

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...
