X Resolution Problems?

[Revenant <revenant@interact.net.au>]

I've downloaded the i740 drivers for X, set up a symbolic link from
XBF<whatever> (the i740 driver) to X and that works.  

I've configured it using XF86Setup.  It will run if I set it to VGA,
but if I set it to SVGA I get an:
X11TransSocketUNIXConnect : Cannot connect errvo 111

I got it to run in 1024 x 768 mode but made the mistake of trying to
tweak the settings again and can't get it back.  Even then it wouldn't
use more than 8-bit colour.

Sometimes when I run XF86Setup, a white rectangle appears on the
screen and remains there, even when I drop back to the shell. - even
if I flip to other shells(?) with Alt-F<whatever>.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you.
