Ok, *here's* the weird part.  I have a client whose laptop is likewise
1280x800.  SuSE's SAX refused to set that size.  it would let me set
1280x1024.  *But then it actually *did* 1280x800* at server start,
anyway.  Says so, right there in the log.  *Even though there's no
modeline for that 1280x800*.

Go figure *that* one out.
