While using the offb driver, no mode-switching is available, so the mode in your XF86Config must exactly match the mode that the framebuffer is already using. Type "fbset -x" to output your current framebuffer settings in the format used by XFree86 3.x. Some translation may be required for XFree 4.0. Of course, XFree won't be accelerated at all using offb, so it's not a good long-term solution.
