You still don't have a _valid_ 1024x768 mode line. Try going even one step
simpler ...
 
Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Device         "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
    Monitor        "BenQ W100"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0"
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768" # Note, just "1024x768", no fancy frequency specification!
    EndSubsection
EndSection

And when you post your next log, please consider pruning it first (especially
if you're going to post it multiple times!). All that's relevant for now is

or thereabouts. Lose the rest.

cheers.
