Thanks for the info. I did used xf86config, repeatedly, but didn't seem to set up everything correctly. Here's what I think is crucial, but not sure how to do it correctly:
1. hsync in kHz: I choose 31.5: standard VGA, 640x480 @ 60 Hz, as mine is a 640x480 STN LCD capable of 256 colors (although the manual says it can use external VGA monitor of three types (640x480, 31.5kHz; 900x600, 35.5kHz for 256 colors; 1024x768, 35.5kHz for 256 colors). 2. vertical sync range: here's the puzzle. I have no idea what to do. I chose 50-70, 50-90, 50-100, none worked so far. 3. identifier for monitor definition: no clue what to do. 4. vendor name of monitor: CTX, I suppose. 5. model name of monitor: no clue what to do. 6. server: I choose XF86_VGA server. 7. VRAM: 1024K. 8. video card definition: no idea. 9. vendor name of video card: no idea. 10. model name of video card: no idea. 11. clockchip setting: I ran X -probeonly, and got 28.32 28.32 28.32 28.32 The results: no mode found. I am sure it's one or more of the settings that is not set correctly. Would appreciate any help! Thanks!
