xorg.conf used by my system

I am using a wide-screen monitor but Xorg is claiming that the 1366x768 display mode is invalid but when I use the xvidtune program to set the display to the same settings I have in the xorg.conf file, it works just fine.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the xorg.0.log:

(**) SIS(0): Option "NoDDC"
(==) SIS(0): Min pixel clock is 5 MHz
(--) SIS(0): Max pixel clock is 168 MHz
(II) SIS(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 31.50-50.00 kHz
(II) SIS(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh range of 25.00-65.00 Hz
(II) SIS(0): Clock range:   5.00 to 168.00 MHz
(II) SIS(0): Not using mode "1366x768" (illegal horizontal timings)

I am using FC11 but when I was using FC8 (I just upgraded) it accepted the wider video mode just fine.  Since the hardware configuration did not change between the two versions, there must be a bug with the newer software.

I suppose I should also add that when I manually make the changes with the xvidtune program, xorg expectedly resets the display the moment I log out.  This means that there is no known work around for this problem.
