Be aware that if you manually tweak this file, running "dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86" will no longer have any effect until you do the steps
listed at the top of the file. So if you haven't already manually
modified this file, you might want to run the dpkg-reconfigure command
instead.
Your default depth is 24, so you can just change that section, provided
you never switch depths; otherwise, just change them all (which is what
I'd do anyway, to be consistent).
You can also change resolution on-the-fly with
Ctrl-Alt-PlusSignOnNumberPad (or Ctrl-Alt-Ctrl-Alt-MinusSignOnNumberPad).
The ATI description is just a description for human eyes; it's
irrelevant to X. What matters is the driver line.
