B^) I tried to explain why you might need a range of values for Hsynv and Vrefresh.... > - Side question: There must be a way to boot into text mode (other runlevel). > How can I achieve that? - Yes, there is. At the Grub screen (before it times out and autoboots), select the kernel you want to boot from the list, and hit the "e" key to edit the configuration. From the list of directives, find the kernel line with the arrow keys, and select "e" again to edit that line. Go to the end, and add a " 3" (thats a space and a 3) to the end of the line. I think you might have to hit the enter key when you are done editing, then select "b" to boot the changed entry. When it does, you should boot into text mode. You should then be able to login through the command line prompt and edit what you need to. (These command line prompts are usually available in 6 virtual consoles, even when you boot graphically. You can find them via Alt-Ctrl-Fn where Fn is one of the function keys. From the Text modes, Alt-Fn is usually sufficient, but you need the extra Ctrl key from the graphic session.) > Will wait for your comments re my xorg.conf attempt. > Burkhard I hope this helps. -- Kevin J.
