I believe I have resolved this issue.
How: I used the VESA driver instead of the driver used by X -configure.
Why:
My monitor is connected to the video card via a digital cable.
When perusing through the monitor manual, I saw attributes
for both digital and analog operation. The digital section made
reference to VESA. Then I recalled seeing something about a
VESA driver in the XFree documentation. This may not be the
most 'correct' solution but it's working.
Thanks to all who reponded.

Please respond
to newbie
do you have a tv out on the r128 card?
if so unplug it when booting linux, and it will solve your problems
(hopefully).
