Is this a 19" trinitron monitor with 3 BNC connectors on the back, and sync-on-green? If so, then I might be sitting in front of an HP-packaged one right now. Upshot is, ther is no way that I know of to get it working _with a standard video card_ in text mode. There is a company that sells special video cards which will drive fixed-frequence graphics displays in VGA text mode, but I was under the impression that they are expensive and not supported in XFree86, but that may have changed. Other than that, I'd be glad to send you my modeline -- if we have the same monitor, that is.... BTW: If your monitor is what I think it is, what sort of hardware are you using to connect a VGA card to it? -- Chris Mikkelson mikk0022@maroon.tc.umn.edu U of M Tuba and Student "Life is too short for windows..."
