I have recently purchase a Inspiron 8200 (1.6Ghz, 384mg RAM, 30GB HD, 32 MB Geforce2Go, 15" sxga+ upto 1400x1050). It currently is running WinXP pro as it's "host" OS. I have Redhat 7.1 running as a Guest OS via VMware. Everything so far works great except one thing, I can't get X to run at 1400x1050... I can get X to run fine @ 1280x1024, 1024x768, etc... But not at 1400x1050. I have tried to find on Dell's website the Exact specs for my monitor to plug into one of the numerous modeline calculators, but finding useful information on their website is impossible. Currently when I try to start X it drops down to 1280x1024 giving the following error in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log:

If I'm reading this correctly it's deleting my 1400x1050 modeline because "vrefresh out of range", this causing X not to find a correct modeline for 1400x1050, and dropping the resolution.
Currently my XF86Config-4 has one modeline:
ModeLine "1400x1050" 113.7 1400 1400 1648 1960 1050 1050 1053 1067 +HSync +VSync
And my Device / Screen / Display Sections look like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "VMware SVGA"
Driver "vmware"
BusID "PCI:0:15:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "VMware SVGA"
Monitor "VMware Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1400x1050"
EndSubsection
EndSection
Any help with my modeline would be greatly appreciated... I have asked on a couple other news groups but no-one has been able to supply me with a good modeline...
