Well I gave it one more shot.  Did a reformat and complete reinstall,
selected generic 1280x1024@74hz monitor, then various X configurations.  The
last thing I tried was XFree-4 vesa (don't know why that wouldn't work for
me yesterday) with 16-bit color at 1280x1034, and it worked!

All is forgiven.  ;-)

MANY THANKS ONCE AGAIN.
