Do you want me to change this (1024x768): ?
	SubSection "Display"
                 Depth           8
                 Modes           "1024x768"
         EndSubSection

Why?
There is no reason.
The hardware can only run at 1024x768 at 8bpp.
If I change this, it will clearly fail.
No need to try as the answer is clear.

Reason:
root@c3000:/usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux# fbset -i

mmode "1024x768"
     geometry 1024 768 1024 768 8
     timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
     rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0
endmode
