I have the 1024x768 first in 'Modes' line in the Display subsection that is appropriate for the color depth specified in the DefaultColorDepth. Look at 'man XF86Config'. The Modes line description contains information on changing modes. Modes "modename" ... This entry is mandatory for most X servers, and it specifies the list of video modes to use. The video mode names must correspond to those specified in the appropriate Monitor section. Most X servers will delete modes from this list which don't satisfy various requirements. The first valid mode in this list will be the default display mode for startup. The list of valid modes is converted internally into a circular list. It is possi- ble to switch to the next mode with Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus and to the previous mode with Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus.
