Setting PreferredMode caused the X server to lockup during start-up before switching out of text mode and requiring kill -9, until I removed my HorizSync and VertRefresh lines. Tried with X -configure afresh and achieved the same effect. With DDC and without HorizSync and VertRefresh lines PreferredMode is working but I'm having to use a lower refresh and I've lost the highest resolution my monitor displays. So for me the choice seems to be: - stick with my old config and sort out resolution when I log in - accept lower refresh (75Hz) and lower max resolution (rarely used it anyway), and use PreferredMode Cheers, -- Mark A.
