Apparently it only supports up to 1024 x 768 Change these according to your monitor's specs. > HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0 > VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 And also verify that your monitor supports up to 24 or even 32 bits. If it does then change the DefaultDepth to 24 and in the modes section add 1280 x 1024 and try it again. You might have to shutdown the machine and/or restart it for the changes to take effect. > DefaultDepth 16 > SubSection "Display" > Viewport 0 0 > Depth 16 > Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > EndSubSection > EndSection Regards, Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
