kiss the sun and walk on air writes: Thanks for trying :) Perhaps we can try pushing the value beyond the spec? Or is there possibly something in the modeline that could be tweaked? Well I found a bug in my code - however this shouldn't have affected the -2 case. No, unfortunately one cannot extend the range as the adjacent bits all have a meaning. I'm just trying to help brainstorm. Before I installed linux on this machine windows 2000 had a perfect 1400x1050 display, so its possible, somehow. Yes, definitely.

kiss the sun and walk on air writes: Agreed. A positive value exacerbates the the problem. The ability to go farther in the negative direction is needed to find the best value. OK.

According to my trident data books - which aren't on CyberBlades XP, Ai etc - the range goes from -2 to 5. Maybe that's different on the newer chips. Alan, do you have more informations on that?
