| Umm, do you think your XF86Config would work with the XFree version

xf86config should generate a config that is "good enough", every time.
My config won't help you unless you have the same monitor I do, which
you probably don't. -:)

| display mode working (don't know if it's my Nokia or the Matrox).  I also

| monitor goes into power saving mode.

$ script /tmp/a
Script started, output file is /tmp/a
$ startx
<kill off X server after it's running, or whatever>
$ ^D
Script done, output file is /tmp/x

What is in that file?

| I built XF86Setup, but I get no picture on screen (still in power save)
| when I run it...

XF86Setup is a disaster; use /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config.  

Note that you can get no picture on screen if your monitor is fickle
and shuts itself off if it gets a signal it considers harmful.  Many
modern monitors do this, which is a good thing, since one can in principle
fry one's monitor otherwise.

| Argh ;-)

Matrox boards are the best-supported in XFree86.  Setup should really
be a no brainer with xf86config; all you have to know really is what
your monitor's vertical refresh rate and your horizontal sync rate, and
you get that from your monitor's FM.
