And under section "Screen"
wherever you have "Modes", you need to make sure you remove any modes
higher than the one you're using.. 
eg. if you're running at 800x600 and the modes say:
	Modes	"800x600" "1024x768" "1152x900"
or something like that, delete the "1024x768" and "1152x900" because
X will set your virtual screen to the largest mode there (so you can
Control-ALT-+ to them and back without losing any of your desktop)
