The vp: 0 looks strange.

That is the output of the following code:

  if(XF86VidModeGetModeLine(dpy, screen_nr, &dotclk, &modeline)) {
    if(modeline.privsize != 0) {
      XFree(modeline.private);
    }
    info->resolution.horizontal_pixels = modeline.hdisplay;
    info->resolution.vertical_pixels = modeline.vdisplay;
...
  }

I agree that there should atleast be some sanity checking here, but it looks
like we get this 0 'hight' information from the Xserver.

Does your header files for X match the installed version of XFree86?
Was Ogle built against the same version of XFree86?  What graphics card
and which XFree86 driver are you using?
