Thanks to Craig Ringer and Jesse Hutton - while it does not solve
my problem yet, I made a little progress.
No Jesse Hutton, Option "FlatPanel" "1" does not work.
I810(0): Option "FlatPanel" is not used

Back to problem.
The Flat Panel 1504FP is 1024x768 with Depth 8. Hsync 30-60, Vsync 56-75.
In Boot session I see the following message:
<quote>
BIOS data check suceesfull

Please press RETURN to see valid video modes, or SPACE or await 30 sec
(either make your choice between various sets 80rows x N lines;
or wait 30 sec)

I have been playing with /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Section "Monitor" and Section "Screen" for DefaultColorDepth (mine is 8).
I get two situations:
1. Half-success:
Graphic display, but with enooormous font size, actualy useless
(II) I810(0): monitor1: Using hsync range of 31.00-60.00 kHz
(II) I810(0): monitor1: Using vrefresh range of 56.00-75.00 Hz
(II) I810(0): Not using mode "1024x768" (no mode of this name)
(II) I810(0): Not using mode "800x600" (no mode of this name)
(II) I810(0): Increasing the scanline pitch to allow tiling mode (640 -> 1024).
(--) I810(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 1024)
(**) I810(0): *Built-in mode "640x480"
(II) I810(0): Attempting to use 73Hz refresh for mode "640x480" (41)
(--) I810(0): Display dimensions: (300, 220) mm
(--) I810(0): DPI set to (54, 55)
2. Disappointement:
The blue screen, where a small clock logo is "working" quite a long
while, screen changes into various coulours, at the end it became
blue, with a small white space, written in nice font (precisely what
I would like to get !) and a note "Impossible de lancer le programme
Impossible de creer le module d'entree/sortie: Too many open files".
I definitely hate to have my OS in anything else than ASCII,
they probably say "Impossible to launch(?) the program. Impossible
to create IO module: Too many open files"
Once this is closed (click click), I have full blue sceen,
my mouse is able to open half-broken menus of KDE environment.
But nothing can be done with it, except reading it.
My Conclusion:
I think I miss correct information for ModeLine for Section "Monitor"
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor1"
VendorName "Plug'n Play"
# ModelName "Dell 1504FP Flat Panel 1024x768"
HorizSync 31-60
VertRefresh 56-75
something similar to Sony Vaio:
# Sony Vaio C1(X,XS,VE,VN)?
# 1024x480 @ 85.6 Hz, 48 kHz hsync
ModeLine "1024x480" 65.00 1024 1032 1176 1344 480 488 494 563 -hsync -vsync
Any help would be much appreciated.
What I have in doc/log is:
# DELL 1504FP, 1024x768 @ 60 Hz
# Ranges: V min: 56 V max: 75 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 60 kHz, PixClock max 80 MHz
# Supported additional Video Mode:
# clock: 65.0 MHz Image Size: 304 x 228 mm
# h_active: 1024 h_sync: 1048 h_sync_end 1184 h_blank_end 1344 h_border: 0
# v_active: 768 v_sync: 771 v_sync_end 777 v_blanking: 806 v_border: 0
I do not know enough about it, it seems that guessing below is NOK.
ModeLine "1024x768" 65.00 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806
