Curtis,

it would be helpful if you send us a log.
This gives informations about the modes rejected
by the server (and the reason why it was rejected),
the modes that actually were set etc.

Egbert.

   display resolutions it can switch between.  Titrating
  H and V frequencies in XF86Config-4 one by one, at a

  60Hz to 1600x1200 at 74Hz.
  
  The problem: my monitor (Philips 107P) can only do
   1600x1200 at 72Hz.  Furthermore, the cutoff point
  seems to be wrong: eg, when I set the configured
  values to 90K, 72V, my monitor tells me the out of
  range signal is 93K, 75V!  I feel somehow betrayed.
  
  
  I imagine (1) is a driver issue.  I have the latest driver,
  so, whatever.  I thank God - or Stephen Tweedie anyway - for
  ext3fs :-)
  
  But, (2).  Is this - a card/driver issue?  An XF86 issue?
  Or even somehow a monitor issue?
  
  Your help will receieve no reward but my thanks, but is
  anticipated in advance :-)

[Xpert]issues with S3 Savage and monitor timings
