If you have a default color depth specified then jump down to the subsection for that color depth and add a 'Virtual' directive. Such as: Virtual 1024 768 See the XF86Config(5) manpage for more info. By default, X will give you a virtual screen as large as the largest 'Mode' you have listed - even if that Mode is not the one currently in use.
