Driver "Accel"
Device "Trio64V+"
Monitor "AMIGA"
DefaultColorDepth 8
BlankTime 0
SuspendTime 0
OffTime 0
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Virtual 1024 768
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
