Actually, it is the reverse. /etc/X11/XF86Config should be the original file
with /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config as a link to it. Stuff stored in the /etc
directory was meant to be altered and files under /usr weren't. It seems that
the configuration program looks and writes to /etc/X11, but the servers look
at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Confusing, huh?!

Looking at the response list from Gith, I see that the server determined that
the 800x600 & 1024x768 display modes are invalid. Gith, make sure the card has
sufficient memory to support the modes. Also make sure the monitor
specifications are sufficient to support the modes. While the card might
produce the required video display, if you told the config program a lesser
monitor, the modes will be rejected anyhow. (trying to protect your monitor!)
