  In my graphics drivers section I have:

	ACCEL

	  Virtual       1024 768
	  Viewport      0 0
	  Modes         "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	  Clocks         25.22  28.32  39.69   0.00  50.39  76.73  35.69  44.61
	  Clocks        130.27 119.55  79.41  31.23 109.71  65.10  74.93  94.62

  The first mode listed is the default mode.  If I wanted the default
  mode to be 640x480, I'd do this:

	  Modes         "640x480" "1024x768" "800x600"
