Which is what I thought you had asked about in the initial query and
thats what it is supposed to do. Give you a full screen display
'on the console'

Because you must not have the below in your XF86Congig-4/xorg.conf.
I also posted the information for X but you never responded. Here it
is again.
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 31.5-57.0
VertRefresh 50-90
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Trident Microsystems Cyber 9397"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

Hey Wayne, thanks so much! That works. It's now displaying things
properly in a full screen. I must have missed your first posting of
this, but fortunately I caught it this time.
Mark
ps, I wonder why dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (and/or dpkg-reconfigure
-phigh xserver-xorg) got the settings wrong. This resulted in the
DefaultDepth being set at 24, and the HorizSync and VertRefresh were
slightly different too.
