Your screen is a "FLATRON 775FT" according to xorg.log, which is a 17" CRT screen according to google.

For most 17" CRT (4:3 ratio) screens 1280x1024 @ 60 hertz is the highest supported resulotion, although 1024x768 should also work fine (In fact, many people prefer this).
You can try replacing "1024x768" with "1280x1024" and see if that works better.

You may need to manually adjust the stretch/location with the controls on your screen though. CRT screens are not able to do this automatically as LCD screens can (Because it's an analogue electron stream and not digital pixels).
