Thanks for the advise. However, when I set the HorizSync to something lower, the CRT fails to initialize. It is a unknown monitor. It has no brand identifier on it anywhere that I can see. With the HorizSync set as it is the CRT will always come on. The problem I am fighting is that the CRT is displaying a clone of the primary display. According to everything that I have read it should be able to use xinerama to make one big desktop. But I have been unable to actually get anything but a cloned display (it does not help to only see what I am doing twice ;)). I have read that dri and xinerama do not work well with each other. This is perfectly fine with me since dri is not supported for my chipset anyway. Right now I am at a total loss as to what approach I should take. It seems as if there should be something I have to do to tell X to display a seperate screen on the external monitor (I thought that Xinerama would do this) instead of cloning the primary display. The only thing that I am sure of right now is that the Windows (ms) could display on the external monitor in a xinerama style, but I would rather have only one screen with gnu/linux+xfree+gnome than proper dual support from ms. I like my gnu tools better. :) Regards, Brandon _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
