For what it's worth: I have *no* problem with Franz's 4.0.1 RPMs and a

with a modeline in XFConfig. It doesn't work for 16 bit color (and more
than that is out of reach for valkyrie with 1MB VRAM).

I'd volunteer if you provide a precompiled server binary. For compiling
XFree86 myself, my machine is too slow.
