Well yes, certainly.  I included it so readers would get  
the Xorg view of the hardware.

Not sure about that.  This doesn't seem right.

root@whiterock:~# xrandr -q
Can't open display

Also this.

root@whiterock:~# grep 1400 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) R128(0): Panel size: 1400x1050
(II) R128(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (hsync out of range)
(II) R128(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (hsync out of range)
(II) R128(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (hsync out of range)
(II) R128(0): Not using default mode "1400x1050" (hsync out of range)

Appears to be a bug in r128.

Seems this might help to get a workaround?

root@whiterock:~# gtf 1400 1050 75

  # 1400x1050 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 82.20 kHz; pclk: 155.85 MHz
  Modeline "1400x1050_75.00"  155.85  1400 1496 1648 1896  1050 1051 1054 1096 -HSync +Vsync

I chose 75 Hz in ignorance.  What refresh rate is sensible?

Thanks,         ... Peter E.
