I tried to state that VESA is unable to display 1024x600 (let's face it it's a weird resolution, but that's the native resolution of my netbook) no matter what I do. I'm very well aware of the fact that VESA can be used for higher resolution than 800x600, but I have no idea if I can set 1024x600 and how.
Create xorg.conf file and then try increasing refreshing rates to about 40-110 and 50-120 as in this example
Code:
Section "Monitor"
        #DisplaySize      370   270     # mm
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "SNY"
        ModelName    "SONY CPD-G400"
 ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
        HorizSync    40.0 - 110.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 120.0
        Option      "DPMS"
EndSection
and then try to force resolution 1024x600 by editing mode lines as follows.

Code:
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth   24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     1
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     4
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     8
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     15
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0 
                Depth     16
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes	"1024x600"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
If the depth 24 doesn't work arise whole displey section and edit mode lines with the depth 16 as in

Code:
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes	"1024x600"
        EndSubSection
Can you give us the output of
Code:
$ xrandr
in both cases?
