X can do both (using Mandrake Control Center), but when I run fbset in
either one of them, it always reports that I'm running in 1024x768? I
don't know what Mandrake is doing here, 'cause if I set the other
resolutions manually with e.g fbset 800x600-90 my screen goes into
standby mode again (probably to protect itself from out-of-range timing
values).

I'm running XFree 4.3.0. Tried XPmac as well but it garbled up the
entire screen (and my keyboard, very nice...).
