Done. I put whole "Screen" section with both 16bit and 24bit "Display"
subsections. Both have only 1024x768 mode defined. I found on page
linked from gNewSense wiki[1] that this machine has only 4MB VRAM
(detected by X.org). Is that true?  The other problem may be ModeLine,
but I'm not brave enough to "guess" it and put hardcoded value into conf
file ;) I don't know if anyone has problems with "flickering" and so on,
but if so, then someone more skilled with access to the hardware would
check it (with xvidtune?). I don't know however if such experiments are
safe for the hardware ;)

Happy hacking!
