Hi,

I'm not using the hallib.  And I apologise - I did eventually find where
the sync polarity for the first head is set (in the vgahw stuff).

My problem turned out to be nothing to do with sync polarity.  I already
said that dot clocks <16MHz lock my box.  It also turns out that the
clocking isn't stable below around 20MHz (18MHz and I get a picture, but
very flickery).

My current workaround is to make my mode 1440x576 - that way I can use a
27MHz dot clock.  Downside is that the pixels are very non-square so most
X output is squashed up due to assumptions that the pixels are square.

Do you know how low a G200 dotclock can go?  I've also got one of those in
another machine and could use it.

Thanks,
Steve
