Heh--it sounds like it, and I suspect (from my own experience) that it is the case--but not 640x480--- What happened to me was that when I started it (at first I optimistically made all modes 1024x768) a look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log (I might have that name wrong--I'm in Windows at this instant, and I would just get it by doing cat /var/logl/X*) would show that it was having trouble and dropping to a default mode of something like 320x120. I'm anxiously following this thread hoping that someone is going to come up with a good solution for him. What I found really aggravating was that trying XFree86Setup gave me a decent resolution--but then, when I started X it would say can't start the X server. Sigh.
