I'm running Debian (testing) on the above configuration.  I'm trying to
get XFree 4.0.2 to work.  Right now, I can boot with the "novideo"
option, and XFree 3.3.6 will work in 1600x1200@8bpp.

fbset says:
mode "1600x1024-57"

I thought you wanted 1600x1200, can you try fbset 1600x1200-60 ? Dunno if
aty128fb supports that mode on bootup, in doubt check the source.

The LCD panel inside the Cinema Display only understands a single mode:
1600x1024 at 59.94 Hz, with a dot clock of 107.24 MHz. Olaf Hering added
the vmode 22 according to a spec sheet I found somwehere on the 'net. I
am using a Cinema Display with a patched 2.2.18 kernel in said mode; it
does work at least for me. So far I tried neither XFree 4.x nor any
2.4 kernel.
