I am having a wonderful X configuration learning experience as I continue to be unsuccessful configurng my monitor for 800x600 res. Every setting from 1600x1200 32bit through 640x4808bit is great but that darn 8x6. I have learned of the awe of Xconfig, the wonder of XF86Setup, the thrill of Xvidtune, and how easily entertained I am by the Xmodline generator but I have yet to be rewarded with a non flickering 800x600 video display (I even hacked XF86Config). Using Xvidtune I have found a wide range of values that produce a perfect display but I seem to be unable to get XF86Config to understand them even though the only Modeline values left in there are the ones I have manually entered. I even remembered to enter them in the "Display" subsection. Obviously I am missing something here (it's a "newbie" thing). Here is some info relating to my system, I would be very appreciative if any of you have any suggestions. Mandrake 7.0 2.2.14-15mdksmp Card: Riva TNT2ultra 32meg Monitor: ViewSonic GS790 H 30-95kHz, V 50-180Hz, 0.7Vp-p 640x480 @ 180Hz to 1600 x 1200 @ 77Hz NI Modeline "800x600" 69.65 800 864 928 1052 600 604 610 640 -hsync -vsync This looks just great using Xvidtune but flickers every second or so when vidtune is not running, every other configuration any of the other setup tools has come up with does the same thing. I run a dual boot and 800x600 works fine on the evil O.S. Thanks ! Larry
