Andrei I disagree, sometimes we unfortunately need monsters :(.
For example, in the below I could remove DisplaySize and Gamma,
especially Gamma 1.0 is unneeded. But if I would remove the modline,
this install (Ubuntu Quantal) would drop down the frequency from 90Hz to
60Hz and nobody likes to use a CRT at 60Hz. This xorg.conf also ensures
that the resolution isn't limited to a max of 1024x768.
