I've got a dozen 'Subsection "Display"' entries - under Driver Accel,
Driver SVGA, Driver VGA16 and Driver VGA2. In each case there is one line:
Modes "1024*768" "800*600" "640*480"
If I split the line or insert eg 'Virtual 800 600' in the middle, I get an
error message when I 'startx'. So can you tell me where I put these lines?

For some reason? It says that if you don't know what you're doing, forget
it, or you may damage your hardware. I certainly don't know what I'm doing.
