That's supposed to work, as I found that somewhere too.  It's supposed
to flip through the options you have set in modes, however it did not
work for me with FreeBSD for some reason, though it works perfect in
Linux (Mandrake 8.1.)  I've attached the working XF86Config file from
Mandrake, though, for anyone else out there who may still be having similar
problems.  You probably want to replace system specifics with your own
settings, though.
