Hi 

I have found the need for many low res screen resolutions for such
thingas as movie playing, xmame, etc. 

The method XFdrake uses to enable modes is to enumerate each mode in the
XF86Config file. For example (a newly created file): 

Subsection "Display" 
    Depth 24 
    Modes "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" 
EndSubsection 

It would be better (at least under XFree 4, which automatically provides
resoltions from the monitor, if it is capable), to not limit the modes
provided to the user

If I use instead, the following:

Subsection "Display" 
    Depth 24 
    Virtual 1280 960
EndSubsection 

My maximum mode is exactly the same as before, but I have many more low
resolution modes.

For my monitor, the full list available modes I get is:

1280 x  960 @ 85.00  
1280 x  960 @ 60.00  
1152 x  864 @ 75.00
