*** Resolution change in ATI Rage Mobility M3 problem od Dell C600
Latitude laptop. Ask for help ***

On my Dell C600 laptop works X well in 1024x786 reaolution, there
is no problem, but I would like to get LOWER resolution 640x480 in
some occasions.
(I would like to play TuxRacer fullscreen ;-))

Whatever I set in XF86Config-4, setting "Display" subsection as
suggested in forums, setting modelines directly, restricting Modes
in display subsection to only 640x480 resolution; X starts still
only in 1024x786!

And worse yet, CTRL ALT +/- DOESN'T WORK! After pressing, nothing
happens. It looks like, X select "smartly" only the best
resolutin, whatever I write to config file.
(In another words, it's ignoring me :-))

I have a notebook keyboard only, with 'virtual' num-pad, but it
wouldn't mind.

I append some (shorten) XF86Config-4 file and some
/var/log/XFree86.0.log messages:
Thanks' for any help.
