### You have two ModeLine's named "768x576".  I don't *think* having
### two ModeLines with the same "name" is supported.  Also, be careful
### with values here, you can damage a monitor with incorrect settings.
### Usually you can get away without setting these at all and rely on
### built-in standard modes.

### As Tim said, this should be in the format of
### "mon1A,mon2A; mon1B,mon2B; mon1C,mon2C" so:
### Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768; 1024x768,600x800"
