It should be something like:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                   Depth        24
                   Modes        "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                   Depth        16
                   Modes        "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

You should change the Device and Monitor names to match the ones you're
using for them.
