Steve, no need thanks!  I too had no trouble with the various console modes
under either SuSE or Mandrake in the past.  This is why I am confounded.. I
actually spend quite a bit of time not running X11 so, on a 17" monitor, it
would be nice if I could bump up the resolution - not least so I can fit a
bit more code on the screen at once!

I may try just setting a fixed vga value instead and see if that works, or
maybe get rid of apmd (?).

Thanks for the info everybody.
