Also you can edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
-----------------------------------------
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Card1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
-------------------------------------------
in the "Screen" section,
the FIRST listed mode is used.
So, you can remove the undesired mode or change the order.
So,
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
can be edited to be
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
or
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "1024x768"
to start in 800x600.
The latter definition means that the key combo can used to get to the
1024x768 mode.
