Well, I tried this and it did absolutely nothing.

In the xorg.conf file, the only display options I have listed as valid 
are 1024x768 (to make sure at least one mode agrees with it) and 
1360x768, in hopes that the system will finally realize that it is a 
viable option.  When I go into the display dialog the listed display 
modes are 1024x786, 800x600, 640x480, etc.  You will notice that the 
system added the extra display modes even though they are not listed as 
valid in the xorg.conf file.  The 1360x768 display mode isn't even 
listed and these are what's confusing me the most.
