Re: 1024x768 resolution on Extended SVGA monitor
For what its worth, I use a Sony Trinitron CPD-220VS monitor, my Horz is set to 30 - 70 and my vertical is set to 50 - 120 in XF86Config. Have you tried to do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86? That should generate a XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11. --- "Ian D.

I think that xvidtune will tell you hsync and vsync. Thanx Patrick, Could you be more specific? If I fire up xvidtune and click on the next and prev buttons, it only shows 640x480 and 800x600.
