Cool... That's roughly equivalent to how I would have done it. But, FYI, the canonical ways to configure X these days are XFree86 -configure and xf86cfg (!xf86config, !xf86setup)...

I ran Xconfigurator and chose "unsupported VGA card" instead of the one at the end of the list, then managed to write a XF86Config-4 file. XF86Config only seems to work for 3.3.6. Changing the driver to vesa, it works. It seems weird that none of the configuration programs can do this properly. Anyway, thanks.
