When it asks for hsync type 4 (which is Super VGA 800x600 56Hz) then type 1 (vsync 50-70) - it will let you concentrate on your card. What is written on the card's chip? During the Xserver startup there should be some info about it. Configure it as VGA16 at 640x480 After that edit your XF86Config and check if the resolution is set correctly, reduce the virtual resolution, check the VideoRam (1024 = 1MB) and the like. Try the above and let me know if you're still in trouble. Bogusz
