Yep, found your gfx card ..

Arrgh, can't find a useable 800x600 mode...

Arrggggghh, there's no useable modes!

Where's your X server, then?

Yep, just go back into XF86Setup and set it up as you had it before. Then,
in your XF86Config file, reorder the modes so than 800x600 (or whatever
you want) appears first. Don't worry about refresh, etc, X should
automatically pick up the best mode available.
