An upgrade to an NEC 17 refurb was running US$120 when I last checked past July. I'd strongly recommend newer kit. Yeah, I know, there's a few good deals here in the UK for refurb. 17. I have a very very very small flat - and my girlfriend would lynch me if I bought something that would take up half the room :( I sorted out XF86Config-4 tho. It was the UseModes line, if I add the required numbers after ModeLine. ModeLine800x600 50.00 etc And don't add anything else it works fine. Something so simple...

xvidtune + xfree4
Dear All, I've just installed Potato 2.2r6 and can't get my screen right. I had this problem a year or so ago when I last installed Debian - but I can't remember how I did it. I've upgraded to XFree 4.0.2 from a Libranet CD and the screen is fine except it is an inch or two off-centre. I used xvidtune to get the numbers, and entered them into XF86Config-4. But... no screens found. I'm sorry, but I must be missing something really obvious. The lines starting with the # are mine. This runs as it is, but crashes with I delete my #. What am I missing?
