duh...

Thanks for the info - I was frustrated with the settings dialog because the
OK/Cancel buttons went below the bottom of the screen (480 pixel height
posed a problem for a number of things in X).

I now just fixed that by going to XFree86.org web site and reading about the
Virtual size in the Display section. Having an odd size screen like it does
makes you get intimate with XF86Config-4. Having a 1024x768 virtual screen
fixed all that  ;-)

Now if only I could get that USB CD-ROM working...
