Hi,
add this line to XF86Config in the video card section:
Clocks 25.2 28.3 74.6 74.4 42.9 0 74.3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 74.5
Modes "1024x768" "640x480"
and change the dotclock to one of the above values in lines like these
(it is the first number):
"640x480" 25 640 672 768 800 480 490 492 525
"1024x768" 74 1024 1024 1192 1368 768 768 779 806
Alternatively you can add this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Stealth 64"
Vendorname "Diamond"
BoardName "Stealth 64 DRAM PCI"
VideoRam 2048
Chipset "s3_generic"
Ramdac "s3_sdac"
ClockChip "s3_sdac"
EndSection
(this is about the Chipset, Ramdac and the ClockChip).
I also saw a Ramdac "bt485" as an alternative.
Sorry, I saw a miracle yesterday, try to make one happen again. Did a
little search with google.
Greetz,
Sebastiaan
