I tried using -b at the boot prompt (running just-cvsupped current) and nothing apparent happened. I was expecting to get a full 800x600 screen. Instead I got the same old 640x480 bordered with black.

So you DID get 800x600, but syscons only uses the center 640x480 of it.

The trick is that you can start XF86 in 800x600x16colors mode from there.
