I know for a fact this monitor supports at least 1152x864 because that's
the resolution I run it with a Win machine.

I've attempted to change the vsync/hsync settings to no avail.  Here are
the monitor/video settings:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Dell D1028L"
        DisplaySize  300        230
        HorizSync    31.0 - 70.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 120.0
        Option "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier
	"Videocard0"
        Driver "vesa"
        VendorName
	"Videocard vendor"
        BoardName "VESA driver (generic)"
EndSection

I'll attempt to also attach the entire config.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
#       Option  "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
# or:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
#       Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
