I switched Windows to 1024x768x8 and got 75Hz.
I then ran XWin -fullscreen and got 1024x768x8 @ 75Hz.
I then quit XWin and reset Windows to 1024x768x24 @ 75Hz.
I then ran XWin -fullscreen -depth 8 and got 1024x768x8 @ 75Hz!

Strange.  I'll chaulk it up to some funny business with DirectDraw or the 
Video Driver.

Thanks.
