Well, by my calculations, 1280x1024 at 75 Hz means the vertical rate is 1024 *75 or 76.8Khz. Your config file says you can only do 75khz. Up it to 78 and see what happens - either the display self destructs or it works. steve > >Section "Monitor" > Identifier "Monitor0" > VendorName "LG Electronics" > ModelName "L1710BK" > HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 > VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 > Option "dpms" >EndSection
