Have you tried adding the option DefaultDepth? Since you have the Modes 
1024x768 for 24, it should come out looking 
like:

  Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Screen0"
         Device     "Card0"
         Monitor    "Monitor0"
 	DefaultDepth 24
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     1
         EndSubSection

This is the only way I am ever able to get my system to go to 1280x1024, 
possibly it'll force yours to the correct setting.
