multipe virtual modes

Hello, I am ruuning the latest XFree86 on a slack 9.1 box with a dual 
head Nvidia card, with Twinview configured to display a single 2048x768 
screen. It works very very well. The only problem is when I switch 
screen modes, (ctrl-alt-+) so I can use just a single monitor, I end up 
with a single monitor with a virtual desktop that is still 2048x768 
instead of a 1024x768 monitor with no virtual space.

Is there a way to specify different virtual modes with every screen mode?

here is a snippet of my xf86config.

# **********************************************************************
# Screen sections
# **********************************************************************

# Any number of screen sections may be present.  Each describes
# the configuration of a single screen.  A single specific screen section
# may be specified from the X server command line with the "-screen"
# option.
Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 0"
    Device      "nvidia0"
    Monitor     "g740"
    DefaultDepth 24

Option "NvAGP" "3"

    Option "TwinView" "true"

    Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30.0-69.0"

    Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50.0-120.0"

    Option "MetaModes"  "1024x768,1024x768; 1024x768, NULL; NULL, 
1024x768"

    Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0
#        Virtual     1024 768
    EndSubsection
EndSection

thanks
