Openchrome and FC10

I have an OQO mod 2 it has the VIA CX700M2 UniChrome PRO II vidoe 'chip' 
(considering how small this unit is, I don't know if physically this is 
a separate chip or part of something larger, but I doubt that matters).

The install worked (I used remote vnc as I have had encountered video 
problems with older distros that had to use the vesa driver), and it 
came up with 800x600 resolution. With system-config-display --reconfig I 
was able to increase this to 1024x768 (all that I need), with one 
important caviat:

neither 600x480, 800x600, or 1024x768 works on the builtin display on 
the OQO, only on the external VGA monitor. On the builtin display all I 
get are out-of-sync lines. Even if I do a startx (after booting with 
inittab at 3 to come up in text mode) with no external monitor, I still 
get those out-of-sync lines.

the /etc/X11/xorg.conf has the same vert and horz ranges as the OQOs 
that have Centos 5.2 using the vesa driver (that will only allow the 
600x480 mode no matter what I try).

So any idea on how to get the builtin monitor to sync in? I really want 
the option of using it..
