This is the section that you have to change:

Hi all,

In reviewing your XF86Config file I wonder what you are asking.

What is the default resolution that you desire to set your screen to?

On my system, I have made the default to be 1024x768 with a virtual
screen
of 1152 x 900 pixels.  When you press Ctrl Alt + keys the X Window
System
will cycle through the various modes and eventualy recycle back to the
beginning.  

If you want a higher resolution as the default for your system change
the
section:

# The Colour SVGA server

Section "Screen"
    Driver      "svga"
    # Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
    #Device      "Your own Graphic's Card"
    Device      ""
    Monitor     "Your own monitor"
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        # Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
        # Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA
        Virtual     1152 900
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
        Virtual     800 600
    EndSubsection
:

For an easier approach, you can run xf86config as root and just 
answer the questions.  When it comes to the screen section you
will be prompted for the order of the resolution for the various
modes.  You must tell the that you desire 1024x768 800x600 640x480
in leu of the reverse.

Anyway I hope that this helps :)
