Help building proper Xorg.conf

For the moment I have two problems with my xorg:

1. The mouse wheel doesn't work (it works as third button but the scrolling doesn't work)
2. The refresh rate of the monitor for 1280x1024is too low (50khz)

I really appreciate your help.

Avoid Modelines. Most monitors automatically report available modes with DDC or EDID. If this one does not, put the desired resolution in the Screen section and add VertRefresh and HorizSync settings to the Monitor section.
 
I tried adding in the Screen section

Code: 
Option         "metamodes" "1280x1024_75 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
but it didn't work at all.

Are you sure you need that ZAxisMapping directive? Try remove it, and if scrolling still doesn't work, use x11/xev to troubleshoot what button events your wheel is triggering, and remap them appropriately (scrolling uses buttons 4 and 5).

First, remove or comment out all mention of modes. Try it that way.

If that doesn't work, put a Modes entry in the Screen section:
Code: 
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
                Modes "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
 
If you have HAL and dbus running most of xorg.conf can be removed.

Here's mine:

        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

I really only added a few fonts to it but everything else is as basic as it gets.

yes, I am going to ask how one can use installed fonts, for example texcm-ttf, without /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

At this moment, I am using startxfce4 without /etc/X11/xorg.conf. My machine is
