Hi Hartwig,
The log file lists every video mode known to man but doesn't say what it 
is actually using.  The output of xrandr does show the current mode is 
1280x1024.  Text and application windows look the correct size and no 
longer appear magnified as they did at the original 800x600.  I could 
post the log file here but it is rather large (24K).

I can grab an application window and it will move entirely out of view 
to the right and bottom up to the cursor.
Best regards,
Fred
