There is no need to actually remove lines, unless you are sure that it is not
needed forever. You can put
#
as a first character and line will be treated as comment, ie. ignored.

# Add this line right here and Xorg will start with 1280x1024.

The Section Screen has more parameters and one of them is Modes that dictates
which mode is first to show on server start, and which modes will be shown
and in what order when you change them by press and hold Ctrl-Alt, and press
+ or - on numeric part of keyboard. For instance:
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "1600x1200"
will start with "1280x1024" and if you press CtrlAlt+ each time it will cycle
trough modes in this order "1024x768" "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" and
so on. The CtrlAlt- will go in opposite direction.
