You really don't want to shut off virtual resolution, you really just
want to define it to less than the maximum, whatever that is. I have
never quite figured out what the default setting is.
However if you just add the line below with the right resolutions to
your /etc/X11/XF86Config file it should fix your problem:

 SubSection "Display"
      Depth        16
      Modes        "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480""
       Virtual      1024 768
       ViewPort     0 0

Or if you use 8 bit:

 SubSection "Display"
      Depth        8
      Modes        "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480""
       Virtual      1024 768
       ViewPort     0 0
