OK, I just checked XFree6's log.  I think this is the problem:

(II) R128(0): Not using mode "1280x1024" (no mode of this name)
(II) R128(0): Not using mode "1152x864" (no mode of this name)
(--) R128(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024)
(**) R128(0): *Default mode "1024x768": 65.0 MHz, 48.4 kHz, 60.0 Hz
(II) R128(0): Modeline "1024x768"   65.00  1024 1048 1184 1344  768 771 
777 806 -hsync -vsync
(**) R128(0):  Default mode "512x384": 32.5 MHz, 48.4 kHz, 60.0 Hz (D)
(II) R128(0): Modeline "512x384"   32.50  512 524 592 672  384 385 388 
403 doublescan -hsync -vsync

hhmmm, what's 'no mode of this name'?  Do I have to define a mode or 
something?

thx as always,
matt
