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.
