Using your XF86Config-4 file, mine also now works. However:

I did not have to do this. After a moment or two, the screen was 
"fine" and KDE 3.0 started with excellent visibility.

Agreed. I see what might be described as "horizontal dancing lines." 
BUT, when I quit KDE, the video "hangs" before I get back to the 
console, and while frozen, I at least get an interesting screen 
pattern (looks likes it's been damaged). I have to reboot.

If I trying running X with fbdev, I get the following X error:

FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
(EE) FBDEV(0): Mode init failed

Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for drive 0.
