Frank,

Thanks for your suggestion:

>> Try replacing your screen section with something like this:
>> 
>> Section "Screen"
>>         Identifier "Screen0"
>>         Device     "Card0"
>>         Monitor    "Monitor0"
>>         DefaultColorDepth 24
>> 
>> 
>>         SubSection "Display"
>>         Depth       24
>>         Modes       "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "640x480"
>>         ViewPort    0 0
>>         EndSubSection
>> EndSection

I did that, and unfortunately it made no difference at all! I'm still 
only seeing 640x480, and that's the only option that comes up in the 
Screen Resolution Preferences panel. Actually the thing that bothers me 
more is the 60 hz refresh rate. That's too slow and hurts my eyes!

Any other suggestions???

Thanks,
Gary
