What driver are you using in the XFree86 config? Are you using XFree 4.x

appropriate options passed to the kernel so the frame buffer starts in
15bpp.


Ah ha!  I thought as much!

Could you point us at a list of modes? I guess you are referring to some sort of append line in the boot controller file? fbmode=??? or something like that? I am having the same problems here. Perhaps somebody has already answered this in my other 120+ unread emails... apologies in advance if so.

A link to the FM would be much appreciated so that I can R it 8-)
