When I start Sax2 it actually says: "The configuration is Framebuffer based and your system does not support changes for resolution and/or color settings." - Huh? What's this, anyways, i created a new modline with gtf: desktop-reg:/home/reg # gtf 1680 1050 60 -x # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync But I'm not really sure if i should put it in there since it looks quite different to the other modes and i don't wanna break my monitor... my other lines look like this: Modeline "1280x1024" 141.82 1280 1376 1512 1744 1024 1025 1028 1070 Modeline "1280x1024" 130.17 1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1066 Modeline "1280x1024" 120.01 1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1063 Modeline "1280x1024" 114.50 1280 1328 1360 1440 1024 1027 1034 1061 +HSync -VSync Modeline "1280x1024" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 Not sure if should just add it on top. Seems like i'm stuck again. Thanks for any further information! -- chEErs Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
