So edit that part here's a chunk from the Section "Screen" Note*: If you copy/paste you might not get a working xconf, so try with your own values and subsitute in the Modes Section where 800x600 is located and include the two suggested "1280x1024" "1024x768" before "800x600" Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "ATI Technologies, Inc.
