There are no "modelines" in the file. Modeline has a specific meaning 
discussed in this thread by Duncan last week. Most users need know nothing 
about them.

Your posts quote too much to make it worth hunting for your preferred 
resolution in previous posts. Had I remembered you wanted 1024x768 that's 
what would have been in that xorg.conf you fetched instead of 1280x1024.

You should probably change only four characters (add two and subtract two):

Replace
	 DisplaySize  270 203 # 096 DPI @ 1024x0768
	...
	# DisplaySize  338 270 # 096 DPI @ 1280x1024
with
	# DisplaySize  270 203 # 096 DPI @ 1024x0768
	...
	 DisplaySize  338 270 # 096 DPI @ 1280x1024

and
	# Option       "PreferredMode" "1024x768"
	...
	 Option       "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
with
	 Option       "PreferredMode" "1024x768"
	...
	# Option       "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"

If you'd rather 96 DPI not be forced, just add the two "#" characters to the 
DisplaySize lines lacking them instead of removing the two others. Many 
people find display behavior suboptimal at anything less than 96 even if less 
is accurate.

You may also want to change
	VertRefresh  56-76
to
	VertRefresh  56-71
if 75 refresh isn't acceptable to you or your CRT.
