Your HorizSync & VertRefresh lines are _extremely_ conservative, add another "Monitor" section, populated as you wish with funny names: Section "Monitor" Identifier "LlamaLlanoLlautu" VendorName "Nancy Pelosi" ModelName "Tim Curry" HorizSync 31-92 # Note: Do Not Use These VertRefresh 55-160 # Numbers, Look It Up For # Your Monitor. You can do # real damage with bad numbers. # (It is actually an NEC E750) EndSection . . . Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "LlamaLlanoLlautu" . . . I would think that the limit on the number of possible "Monitor" definitions would be quite large, you might want to leave the default vga stuff in there, just in case you happen to need it at some point, just change the "Screen" section to reflect what you are using. http://www.monitorworld.com/monitors_home.html has been quite useful to me in the past looking up refresh rates on equipment for which I did not have the documentation. -- --
