One other question, slightly related.  Contrary to the xrandr man page which 
states that the 'default size is the first size specified in the list' my 
thinkpad continually loads the 1600x1200 view. 

xrandr output:
[shaw@kron shaw 30]% xrandr
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1024 x 768    ( 542mm x 406mm )  *0
 1   1600 x 1200   ( 542mm x 406mm )   0

I tried placing the 1024x768-1024x768 metamode as the first in the list, but 
this didn't help.  Should I just add a xrandr -s 0 to an init script 
somewhere, or is there a way to configure this within the xorg.conf file?

Thanks,
Shaw
