I'd guess you haven't removed everything you need to remove. At the
top you'll have something like:
# $Id: XF86Config,v 1.9 2002/12/21 01:36:35 grog Exp $
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
You obviously have to remove the corresponding Screen line. Then
remove the corresponding Screen section. Assuming it's Screen 0,
you'll find:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "left"
DefaultDepth 24
(etc).
Remove that, the Device section identified with Card0 and the Monitor
section identified with "left".
