I forgot to mention, my display does not have working DDC or EDID, so xorg et
al have no way to know what is possible from it without some form of manual
intervention.
Since I didn't get an answer here, and couldn't find anything comparable, I
got 1280x960@24bpp@96DPI by editing the xorg.conf result of xorg -configure
myself: http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/xorg.conf.03-1280x0960x096x24bpp-lenny
Here's another reason I will continue openSUSE as #1 recommendation to those
who ask "what distro" should be choosen. YaST/SaX2 in 11.1 and 11.2 (Factory)
still provide the ability to build a working xorg.conf that gets desired
results, with or without a working GUI to start with.
