I've tried setting the default mode in xorg.conf file to a wide screen resolution such as 1280x800 or 1440x900 [which works in vista] but the screen defaults to 1280x768.

VBE is not setting the proper mode for some reason. If the VBE based 
windows driver is able to use 1280x800 or 1440x900, there's no reason it 
couldn't be achieved as well with OPenchrome.

The modelines you set should be unneeded, remove them.
It shouldn't be necessary to set the HorizSync and VertRefresh either, 
unless your lcd panel is not reporting them properly on its own. They 
seem pretty low anyway.
