I have read alot of docs and tried alot of changes to the config file and cannot get the darn thing to run at anything other than 8bits or any resolution other than the max on modes line of the screen for 8 bits.

I've been reading this threat with great interest because I think I ahve similar problems with my X on sid.
Here is my configuration: http:/www.ds10.uklinux.net/xerr/XF86Config-4 and here is the result on how X looks like: http:/www.ds10.uklinux.net/xerr/snapshot1.pngChanging the color depth to 16 gives a somhow usable X with a ca 5cm wide flickering stripe in the middle of the screen. So I reduced (stepwise) the values for vsnyc to 31.5-35.1 and hsync to 50-70 in my config and this is how it looks like then:
http://www.ds10.uklinux.net/xerr/snapshot3.pngThe menues are barely readble and what ever I do I can't get rid of the yellow color scheme.
BTW, I have a no name monitor and a CirrusLogic GD5440 or 5430. They worked fine under XFree 3.x with the SVGA server. Any more ideas on how to get them work with XF4?
