Hi Charlie,
seems like you dont have enough videomemory for 640x480,
(which is 307 k pixels),
so if 1 Mbyte is not enough it probably means that
you are trying to use 4 bytes/pixel.
in the config file this is called depth,
and depth 32 is 4 bytes/pixel
with my xserver (ati) depth 24 is also 4 bytes/pixel,
because it cant do 3 bytes/pixel.
try setting depth of 640x480 to 16.
(should also work for 800x600)
your config file would then contain something like :
Section "Screen"
Driver "Accel"
Device "Your Card"
Monitor "Your Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
hope this helps
have fun !
