For a VR297 which is the same resolution, I've had the most success
with:

# DEC VR297
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "VR297"
        VendorName      "DEC"
        ModelName       "DA"
        Bandwidth       70
        HorizSync       50-55
        VertRefresh     60-65
#Modeline "1024x864" 70 1024 1048 1174 1280 864 864 867 902 -hsync -vsync -csync
Modeline "1024x864" 70 1024 1056 1182 1280 864 864 867 902 -hsync -vsync -csync
Modeline "1024x768" 65 1024 1040 1168 1272 768 768 771 800 -hsync -vsync -csync
EndSection
