====
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
	VendorName	"ViewSonic"
	ModelName	"VX2235wm"
	HorizSync	30-70
	VertRefresh	56-85
	Option		"dpms"
	ModeLine "1024x768 at 60" 65.00 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -HSync

will work (don't know - I don't have a VS).

====
Optimum Resolution 	1680x1050
Contrast Ratio 	700:1 (typ)
Viewing Angles 	170° horizontal, 160° vertical @ contrast ratio > 10:1

So modify to:
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
	VendorName	"ViewSonic"
	ModelName	"VX2235wm"
	HorizSync	30-82
	VertRefresh	50-85
