All the modelines you could ever need at the two sites... http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines Both of the above sites allow you to specifiy width/height ratio. The second site allows you to crank out every possible mode with the given ratio. I loaded them all up. X was unhappy with the largest modes, because they were just too massive. What it did allow, and what I've managed to run is stuff between 1856x1392 and 320x200. Including the standard resolutions, "xrandr -q" reports ***215*** available video modes!!! This is on a 6-year ATI Rage 3D Pro with 8 megs of RAM (only enough RAM for 8-bit-mode at the higher resolutions). It's *NOT* a Rage128, it's actually a Mach64. Given that this can be done in X, why should the driver be cluttered up with the code for this? -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
