What exactly should be replaced here, and whatcase should it be?
or am I looking in the wrong place?

YDL 2.1

        Identifier "Card0"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        #Option "SWcursor"
        Option "HWcursor"
        #Option "PciRetry"
        #Option "NoAccel"
        #Option "ShadowFB" "true"
        Option "UseFBDev"
        Driver "r128"
        BusID "PCI:0:16:0"
EndSection
