I do two things, only one of which is necessary.
First, use the Modes line in the Display subsections to specify only
the mode you use most:
[...]
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
[...]
Second, if you want to use multiple modes, use the Virtual keyword in the
Screen section to limit the size of the virtual desktop to the size of the
mode you want:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024"
Virtual "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
