Yes, this is the same resolution for X and the console, but the console is
in 8 bits color mode and X in 24 bits color mode. The modeline for 1024x768
was computed with the fbset tool.

The monitor is capable to support this range of frequencies. And i use the
modeline for 1024x768 to allow fast swapping between X and the console
because this is the same resolution for both.
