I've tracked down the problem to kudzu. Kudzu probes and says
"Trying Radeon9800" and promptly overwrites /etc/X11/xorg.conf
removing all configurations done to the protosystem.

How can I stop kudzu overwriting xorg.conf? It's exactly the same
card as the one configured in the protosystem, so what is the need
for reconfiguration?

Or is it because stateless-linux removes the information that the
card already has been configured?

If I boot up interactively and select not to run kudzu, X starts at
the correct resolution and not 800x600 16 bit.

It's error 101, whatever that means. Annoying not to be able
to reboot the machines.
