I found the problem.  I only had one modeline in XF86Config-4.  It was 
1152x870.
For some reason the X server could not work out timings for that setting 
and went
to 1856x1392.  When I put the standard SVGA type modelines in I was able 
to get
800x600 and 1280x1024 etc.  That makes me think about having video=keep 
passed
to the kernel.  Is that setting only for text or for the frame buffer 
device?
