------------------------------------------------
Virtual 1280 1024
------------------------------------------------
This optional entry specifies the virtual screen 
resolution to be used.  If this entry is not 
present, the virtual screen resolution will be 
set to accommodate all the valid video modes 
given in the Modes entry.  Some X servers do not 
support this entry.  Refer to the appropriate X 
server man pages for details.
