You have to set the resolution you want to use as "Default", and get the 
refresh rate for it set right as well.

Here are some docs to read -

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution>

Your laptop screen may not even support 1024 x 768 because of it's size.

Try "man xorg.conf" in terminal to read the man page on settings in the 
xorg.conf file.
