Sorry, you'll have to try modelines yourself.  Might google the
monitor/card combo and see what you come up with.

Peace.



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:

Changing 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:

The 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?

Thanks,
	Frank
