Suggestion:

Change/amend the above to reflect:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1024x768" 
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Does it work?

You can also try xrandr to change modes more dynamically.
