The following two web pages seem to create the Modelines I want: [1] http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/spec/linux/modeline/ [2] http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/faq/vga2rgb/calc.html In particular, for [EMAIL PROTECTED], [1] generates: # V-freq: 60.00 Hz // h-freq: 63.73 KHz Modeline "1280x1024" 109.62 1280 1336 1472 1720 1024 1024 1026 1062 But I have two problems with this: 1) A lot of google stuff say modelines are obsolete in Modern XFree86 - it will just autoselect the mode your monitor supports. Is there a better way to achieve [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) I insert the modeline into the Monitor section: Section "Monitor" [snip] ModeLine "1280x1024" 109.62 1280 1336 1472 1720 1024 1024 1026 1062 and my only Display mode is 1280x1024, but still my monitor says it is running at 75hz vert..
