hi,
im using

X Window System Version 7.2.0
Release Date: 22 January 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2

the display im using is Samsung SyncMaster 940NW (flat panel), with the
following specifications:

pixel pitch        : 0.285
horizontal freq    : 30-81khz
vertical freq      : 56-75hz
max. resolution    : 1440x900
sync type          : Separate H/V, Composite H/V, SOG

from the max resolution i can tell that its a 16:10 screen aspect ratio
display.
i have the following modelines in my xorg.conf

"720x480"       26.7 720 736 808 896 480 481 484 497
"720x576"       32.7 720 744 816 912 576 577 580 597
"800x480"       29.6 800 816 896 992 480 481 484 497
"848x480"       31.5 848 864 952 1056 480 481 484 497
"856x480"       31.7 856 872 960 1064 480 481 484 497
"1024x512"      41.3 1024 1056 1160 1296 512 513 516 531
"1280x720"      74.6 1280 1341 1474 1688 720 721 724 746
"1280x768"      87.04 1280 1376 1488 1800 768 771 777 806 -HSync +VSync
"1280x800"      68.9 1280 1344 1368 1408 800 803 806 816
"1366x768"      85.86 1366 1440 1584 1800 768 769 772 795 -HSync +VSync
"1400x1050"     122.61 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1051 1054 1087

of the above, the 1280x768 works great and everything appears on the
screen just right.

i want to open the xserver display at 1024x640 resolution, but i have no
idea how to specify the Modeline for this resolution.
i read the xorg.conf manual for the Modeline parameter, but i just did not
get it. im going nuts trying to figure this out.

please help.
::attached is my xorg.conf

regards
