There is a Modes line in the screen section, use a generic mode.
Don't specify a Modes section.

It could look like that:

Section "Screen"
  DefaultDepth  24
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth       24
    Modes       "1024x768"
  EndSubSection
  Device        "Device[0]"
  Identifier    "Screen[0]"
  Monitor       "Monitor[0]"
EndSection
Section "Device"
  BoardName     "mycard"
  BusID         "0:16:0"
  Driver        "ati"
  Identifier    "Device[0]"
  Option        "sw_cursor"
  VendorName    "ATI"
EndSection
