Well good news is theres only one more from me.
The final clue was the missing lines in the Section "Monitor":
HorizSync 31.5-68.7
VertRefresh 60-85
And then adding Modes "1152x864" to all the SubSection "Display" areas.
I now have a functional X4, with GDM working fine.
I don't think it's quite perfect yet, but having it running in a nice res
certainly makes the other problems easier to deal with :)
