Yes I did. I was wrong, I didn't set the ModeLine, I set the Modes to "1280x1024" in the Display sections. Then when I started xfce4 if would come up right. Before it would start then xorg would crash. I think it was probing for higher resolutions and by limiting it I was able to get xfce4 to start up. Speaking of ModeLines, I have to find one now. I came home and my Proview LCD was caputz. I called them, they will warranty it. But I have to ship it to California. Now I'm hooking my old crt up, no fun once you have used an LCD. > How did you come up with the proper mode line? > Vesa works on my box but at 1024x768 - and my monitor > is 1280x800. > > ====== > Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice; and he is able to bring low those who walk in pride. > Daniel 4:37 > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
