	You can do notning with default X servers

               Virtual xdim ydim
                   This  optional  entry  specifies  the  virtual
                   screen  resolution to be used.  xdim must be a
                   multiple of either 8 or 16 for most  colour  X
                   servers,   and   a  multiple  of  32  for  the
                   monochrome X server.  The given value will  be
                   rounded  down  if  this  is not the case.  For
                   most X servers,  video  modes  which  are  too
                   large  for  the specified virtual size will be
                   rejected.  If this entry is not  present,  the
                   virtual  screen  resolution  will  be  set  to
                   accommodate all the valid video modes given in
                   the  Modes  entry.  Some X servers do not sup­
                   port this entry.  Refer to the  appropriate  X
                   server manual pages for details.
