Oops. I forgot to tell you that you need to switch to the second
resolution with ctrl-alt-keypad+. This may be difficult to find on a
laptop. Try replacing the line with:
Modes "800x600"

No, it can't. The label in "" is just a name. The real resolution is
in the numbers that follow: see the 640 and 480 in there? Don't let
the 800 confuse you: the resolutions are in the 2nd and 6th numbers.
