X vga setup Xconfig for Trident TVGA9000 with VTECH 10765V

I know you've all heard this a hundred times already, but...

If anyone has successfully set up Xconfig for Trident TVGA9000 chip set with a
VTECH 10765V monitor I would greatly appreciate hearing about it.  Color
doesn't seem to get started at all, and I'm aware that the FAQ says other
people have the same problem, so I haven't bothered with that.  But I can't
get 2-color 1024x768 to work at all, even though MSDOS can do 16-colors on my
machine at that resolution.

Is there any documentation that explains what the numbers in the ModeDB
section are to mean when the interlace keyword is present?

Trident included a nice vga experimentation program called TVGACRTC which
includes a database accessible by a device driver of the same name.  The
database contains lines like this.  Does anyone know what the numbers mean or
how to use it to help setup X?
