a fallback. "xdm restart" and black screen forever, including trying to get
to the fallback. Here's what gtf gave me:
# 1280x1024 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 63.60 kHz; pclk: 108.88
MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712
1024 1025 1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync
# 1024x768 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.70 kHz; pclk: 64.11
MHz
Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768
769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync
I put them in the Display section of Screen with depth 24. Comment them out
and all is okay.
