I suspect that what you have to do is just try diffrent configurations for the Screen section: For instance, try a different depth, like 8 with "1024x768" and "800x600" . My card is supposed to go to 1600x1200 at 24bits but just does not do it - I think it has to do with the memory you have for the video. Oddly, mine started working when I configured Depth 8 and Depth 16 to Modes "1280x1024" & "1024x768" HTH, PJ >I put this on chat becuase it's a bit off topic, and it has yet to be >answered on the xfree lists.
