The Screen section provides information specific to the whole screen, including screen-specific Options. In multi-screen configurations, there will be multiple active Screen sections, one for each head.

The Device keyword specifies which Device section to be used for this screen. This is what binds a specific graphics card to a screen. The DeviceID must match the Identifier of a Device section in the configuration file.

The Monitor keyword specifies which Monitor section is to be used for this screen. This is what binds a specific monitor to the screen. The MonitorID must match the Identifier of a Monitor section in the configuration file.

The DefaultDepth keyword specifies which color depth the server should use by default. The -depthcommand line option can be used to override this. If neither is specified, the default depth is driver-specific, but in most cases is 8.
