Is this an appropriate forum to ask for assistance in writing
modelines for my specific hardware above?
Actually it's not, anyway with XFree86 4.x, you normally don't have to
worry about modelines. Knowing the frequency ranges the monitor can
handle should be enough, or is there a specific problem?
Seems 4.x aint compatible with my display card, so using 3.3.6a
and cannot get a resolution higher than 640 x 480 - see output below.
If I try to run the fbdev server, I get a compaint that the
/dev/... does not exist.
Cannot achieve a higher resolution under windows either though.
(If there is a more appropriate forum for me to go with this, then please advise.)
XFree86 Version 3.3.6a / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: xx November 2000
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.4.13 i686 [ELF]

S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
