Hi Michael:

I have a G3 B&W 450 with rage 128 and Hitachi HM 4721-D monitor running 
at 1024x768 @ 120Hz.  My boot parms are:
append="video=aty128fb:vmode:15,cmode:16"

I used Xautoconfig4 to get the attached  XF86Config file.  FWIW I 
thought all monitors clicked, popped and grunted when commanded to 
switch frequencies and they need to switch in new frequency sources 
with mechanical relays.  Obviously I have not yet graduated to the flat 
screen generation (yet).

Regards,
Bruce
