On my rev B I was able to get 800x600 by running at 24bpp and setting the
default to 800x600 in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "ATI Mach64"
Monitor "Apple|iMac/PowerBook 1024x768"
DefaultColorDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
