When I remove all the mode lines above 1024x768, I get the same error I posted in my original message: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. It uses the r128 driver. I got the laptop from aslab.com back in December of 2000 (700 MHz P3). It's actually a Compal (no that's not a typo of Compaq) N38W2 that I think Dell also was using around that time so it's a pretty common laptop. I'll probably look at my 8.0 XF86Config and see if there's anything relevant but I suspect it's the new 4.3 driver rather than an issue with the XF86Config file. I'll probably take Mike's suggestion and post it to the xfree86.org mailing list sometime soon.
