You don't have a 1680x1050 mode declared in the 24-bit Screen section. Before you try that, though, rename your xorg.conf to something else and try starting X with no xorg.conf at all. Some things are new to 7.3, and it wouldn't surprise me that -configure hasn't kept up with them. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
