trying to boot my ubuntu on 800x600, but cant do it.

at the minute its on 640x480, here is my xorg file
Code: 
Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "VMWare Inc [VMWare SVGA II] PCI Display Adapter"
        Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           1
                Modes           "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           4
                Modes           "640x480"
        EndSubSection
 SubSection "Display"
                Depth           8
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           15
                Modes           "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "800x600"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

any ideas? what do i need to change-thanks
 
Default depth is set to 16 so it's probably using 640x480 in the Display SubSection with Depth set to 16. Try either:

Code: 
SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           [b]"800x600"[/b] "640x480"
EndSubSection

or set DefaultDepth to 24 (higher colour depth than 16).
 
tried
Code: 
SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

login screen comes up in 800x600, after logining screen goes back to 640x480.
