After further testing, it turns out that: 1) Whether I use -amd or -geode, they still need to be specified in xorg.conf for the driver to be found by X. Otherwise, X reverts to -vesa. I probably missed that earlier, simply because I've always used an xorg.conf on workstations, to make sure I

1) Attach your X log and we can be sure that you are using the resolution that the monitor reported. This is one of many problems with DDC/EDID. People don't realize that there isn't a connection between what the display controller can do, what the monitor can do, and what the monitor reports
