That sure sounds like the Horizontal or Vertical synch is outside of the
range the monitor can handle. The Viewsonic G810 is getting a bit old,
but it was a *very* nice monitor, and should be able to do:
(**) RADEON(0): Default mode "1024x768": 94.5 MHz, 68.7 kHz, 85.0 Hz
That
Horizsync 30-97
VertRefresh 50-180
does come from DDC and it's not something you made up, is it? That 180
Hz seems a bit optimistic, but 85 Hz doesn't seem out of line. IIRC, I
used to run a G810 at 1280X1024 at 72 or maybe 76 Hz (under Digital
Unix). Just for an experiment, try changing that 50-180 to, say, 50-80
and see what happens.

Add
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "speedo"
to the "Module" section of XF86Config
