Lots of things in Xorg have changed in the past year, and are still changing. Some fundamental things have been subjected to radical changes. A year ago, setting in xorg.conf Option "NoDDC" probably would have done it. Now it depends on your particular gfxcard and choice of video driver whether it might work or not. > On Fedora 7 I just put the correct video settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and > everything was fine.

It would help us to know what "right" and "wrong" are for you and what your hardware is, but start with trying the above option, and also Option "PreferredMode" "modeyouprefer". Take a look at the command xrandr too. -- " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
