Your suggestion to change the modes entry in the XF86Config, I had already
tried before posting this. Adding this option crashes my X server. I will
include the entire contents of my XF86Config file below (thanks anyway):

I have attached the /etc/X11/XF86Config file for your inspection.
I am presently unable to get a resolution finer than 1024x768. (I had
originally been able to do so.) I played around with the dispaly
settings in the hope of removing a very annoying squiggle occuring
throughout the screen, but most noticeably in the top half of the sceen.
Now I can neither restore my previous resolution of 1280x960 nor remove
the sqiggle.

Changes the "Modes" lines to:
Modes "1280x960" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
I don't have anything to suggest for the squiggle.
