Stupid simple 1gb link won't auto cross

Cormac Champion

I have a pair of old 3560's with 1gb copper SFP's, running a dot1q trunk.  I can go from a 1gb SFP on one switch to a FE port on the other switch no problem, but if I try and go from 1Gb to 1Gb, the link won't come up unless I insert a crossover cable at one end.  I can only assume that I am missing some command

The config on all ports is simply
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

Copper SFP has speed and duplex set.  This also means MDI/MDI-X is permanently disabled.
