   I had the same problem when moving from a 760C to a 760E. I could make it work by
   toggling Fn-F7, but that was messy. I am running Xfree 3.1.2G and Linux 2.0.19

   The real fix was to get better timing values in my XF86Config file. The working 
   numbers for me are:

    ModeLine "800x600"     31.5    800  824  896 1024   600  601  603  625
    
   This allows we to start X cleanly and also to switch back and forth between
   X and text virtual consoles, which never worked right before.
