This might be the cause of your problem:
(II) RADEON(0): Valid mode using on-chip RMX: 1024x768

It appears it is overwriting your 1024x768 mode with
a built-in mode. Try renaming your modeline to something
like "1024x768@70", and use that name in your Screen
section as well. Let me know if it (doesn't) work.
