Neat, the Option "monitor-VGA" "Foo" worked.  The  Option
"PreferredMode" "1600x1200" not so much.  I think it came up in
1280x960 tho xrandr said that 3200x1200 was selected.  No matter,
selecting 1600x1200 after the fact worked fine.

I've noticed 'mtrr: no more MTRRs available' on X startup (think its
beryl causing it) in dmesg.  Does /proc/mtrr need some massaging?
