[Ken Mandelberg]

The latest code causes my X server to abort during initialization. The 
last few lines of the log are

The last git code that worked for me was about 10 days old and had the 
problem that it rejected all but the generic resolutions probably based 
on the built in horizontal 31-55, vertical 58-62 defaults. On that code 
I tried the suggestion of adding a separate VGA monitor section with

-----
Section "Device"
   BoardName    "945 GM"
   BusID        "0:2:0"
   Driver       "i810"
   Identifier   "Device[0]"
   Option       "NoDDC"
   Option       "LinearAlloc" "12288"
   Option        "CacheLines"    "512
   VideoRam      65536
   VendorName   "Intel"
   Option "monitor-VGA" "MyVgaMonitorSection"
EndSection
...
Section "MyVgaMonitorSection"
   DisplaySize  340 270
   HorizSync    30-80
   Identifier   "MyVgaMonitorSection[0]"
   ModelName    "LCD MULTI-MED IA DISPLAY"
   Option       "DPMS"
   VendorName   "DMI"
   VertRefresh  43-80
   UseModes     "Modes[0]"
EndSection
----

and get

Parse error on line 95 of section MyVgaMonitorSection in file 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf        "MyVgaMonitorSection" is not a valid section name.



I presume I have the syntax wrong.
