Yes, I did.  I found that everything except the 1024x768 and the current
mode were listed as disabled and I had to 'enable-videomode'.   In that
case, I guess it just doesn't turn the LCD on after it changes resolution.

In any case, a power-cycle will return it to the video mode that MacOS last
left it in.

Seems like it's not really worth mentioning in the FAQ if it's not permanent.
