Up to what resolution does your monitor support?
Apparently it only supports up to 1024 x 768
Change these according to your monitor's specs.

> VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
And also verify that your monitor supports up to 24 or
even 32 bits.
If it does then change the DefaultDepth to 24 and in
the modes section add 1280 x 1024 and try it again.
You might have to shutdown the machine and/or restart
it for the changes to take effect.
