I think you mean Xfb can't do anything but 640x480 with 2.2.13.  fbset can put
it in 800x600 or 1024x768, but X at that res hangs the machine.  Even if I do
fbset -x to produce mode timings identical to those of the framebuffer, X still
hangs it.

I noticed that with 2.3.35-rmk1, X hangs the machine regardless of the
resolution.  Could this be a cyber2000fb problem in the kernel?  (Or was that
obvious? :-)
