The driver detects the preferred mode of the connected monitor, and uses
that if not overriden in the config.  You need to add a Monitor section
and associate it with the appropriate output, and use the PreferredMode
option to choose the mode you want.
You can also use the xrandr utility to change mode dynamically.
