Hi Bill, as you know, I am using a 770X too. I am currently running
RedHat 6.2 and the XFree that came with it:

XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: January 4 1999

I can use Fn+F7 to cycle through these modes just fine. I am regularly
attaching a beamer for presentations and I never experienced the
"wonderful burning screen effect". I have seen this effect on a friend's
machine and we haven't been able to cure his machine by using my
XF86config but we never deeply investigated the differences.

Let me know it you want to have a more detailed look at my
configuration.
