   It says:

(II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range)

   The XF86Config file says your monitor's specs are:

(II) NV(0): Samsung SyncMaster 172T: Using hsync range of 30.00-63.00 kHz
(II) NV(0): Samsung SyncMaster 172T: Using vrefresh range of 56.00-75.00 Hz

but the VESA, 1280x1024 mode that the server would try to use has a 
64 kHz hsync.  This would imply that a monitor with those specs
can't do that mode.  It seems the correct specs are not entered
into the XF86Config.  On samsung's web page:

http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitor/LCDMonitor/Monitor_LCDMonitor_172T_sp.htm

The hsync range is listed as 30-81
The vsync range is listed as 56-75

  Which would have no problem with 1280x1024.  Update the HorizSync
entry in the XF86Config file.
