 	You also need to add the actual 1366x768_60 modeline in the 
Monitor section of your xorg.conf.  Something like this:

Section "Monitor"
     Identifier     "Monitor0"
     VendorName     "Unknown"
     ModelName      "Unknown"
     HorizSync       30.0 - 95.0
     VertRefresh     50.0 - 150.0
     Option         "DPMS"
     Modeline     "coryntscp"  28.636 720 760 824 910 480 484 492 525
     Modeline     "coryntsci"  28.636 720 760 824 910 480 484 492 525 interlace
EndSection

 	All you did was say, "use the mode named 1366x768_60," but you 
never defined what that mode was.
