Right, of course! It flickers and then gives a black screen. X is  
running, as I can see the processes on a separate terminal, but I get  
no display.

So, a HorizSync of 30-60 and a VertRefresh of 55-60, like I have  
above, should be sufficient? That didn't work, and neither did a  
number of other settings I have tried. I have iBookHacks set to true.

The relevant lines from XFree86.0.log with the sync and refresh lines  
uncommented are as follows:

(--) RADEON(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024)
(**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "1024x768": 65.0 MHz, 48.4 kHz, 60.0 Hz
(II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1024x768"   65.00  1024 1048 1184 1344  768
