Actually, I just checked, no need for the Section "Device",
so this could be a bare minimum for the selected resolution.

Section "Monitor"
     Identifier  "monitor"
     Option      "PreferredMode" "<xres>x<yres>"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
     Identifier  "Default Screen"
     Monitor     "monitor"
EndSection
