I have the following in my XF86Config: HorizSync 31.5 - 35.1 VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 This lets me get 16-bit colour at 800x600 resolution, which is all I need. If you want higher resolutions, you can start from there and gradually increase the values until you get a range which is large enough to support more colours and/or pixels, but not so large that it lets your display go all woobly. > My Monitor is a NEC FE700+ so these settings seem to be correct.
