Hmm, for some reason, the framebuffer device refuses to display the
1024x768 mode.

It's a possible way, in particular if you just put Modes "current" in
the Display subsection.
Getting back to your original question: I guess just 'fbset 1024x768-60'
(or any other 1024x768 mode, see /etc/fb.modes) doesn't work either? Do
you use tdfxfb or OFfb? The latter can't change modes so you either have
to use tdfxfb or the tdfx X driver.
