That didn't work for me. When I use -configure to generate a conf file the Monitor specs seem to fit my monitor but the monitor won't use it. Looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log I can see that it tries all the modes and says this for each of them: (II) NV(0): Mode "1024x768" is larger than BIOS programmed panel size of 1 x 1. Removing. (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (unknown reason) (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "512X384" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) .... (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found Funnily enough, when I passed Xorg -config a non-existent config file name (by accident) it displayed the black and grey grid with the X in the middle. malcolm
