I can test that tomorrow, not local anymore.

Section "Screen"
         Identifier      "Default Screen"
         Device          "Generic Video Card"
         Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
         DefaultDepth    24

         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth           24
                 Modes           "1600x1200"
                 Virtual         1600 1600
         EndSubSection
EndSection

Will let you know tomorrow, thanks!

Justin.
