I was suggested two solutions for the above problem :

    1.  comment out the Virtual  line in the Screen section. 
     2.  put a virtual line with the mode I want.

   both these two failed to work. 

I have 4 screen section for VGA server, SVGA server, Monochrome  server
and Acclerated server.  during Xconfiguration I chose the SVGA and that 
subsection doesn't have any virtual statement.  Still I tried both the 
above methods. none worked.

  I have NVIDIA Riva TNT2 video card with 32 MB ram. 
please help, if you have any guess about the source of this problem. thanks.
