I had done those after the workaround.  So I exited fvwm back to the console,
recalled fvwm via startx, and gathered the information again before doing the
workaround.
inxi ->

This is the same as before except showing 1024x768 instead of 1920x1200.

For Xorg.0.log,

Thanks again.

I don't see anything to suggest that there's anything wrong. Did these result
after applying your xrandr workaround? If the problem remains in absence of the
workaround, the inxi and log need to come from being in that condition. I have
something similar needing no correction or workaround:
