A long shot, but:

Assuming that you're running a depth (8, 16, 24 or 32bit) that has more
than one resolution defined, it could be that all but one of the
resolutions are being rejected at startup time. Have a look at the
messages that print in the console. If you use xdm (I don't), I don't
know if you get to see these messages or not.

You should get messages like these for the valid modes that are available:

(**) Mach64: Mode "1024x768-73": mode clock =  80.000
(**) Mach64: Mode "800x600-81": mode clock =  56.600
(**) Mach64: Mode "640x480-99": mode clock =  44.900
