Andrew,

If possible, post the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
here.

Only general tips I can give are to make sure the driver selected
is 'fbdev' (i believe thats correct syntax) and set your color depth
to 15.

I tried googling for an example (I don't have the machine) but came up
empty.  But feel free to give it a try.  Either way, seeing what Xautoconfig
is producing would be most helpful.

Yes.

I hadn't, but on reading your suggestion I went in and noticed that
section "Screen" had a subsection "Display" for 24-bit depth, which I
guessed X would default to if it were present.  I pruned that
subsection and now X works!

Thanks a lot for the hint,
