IIRC, X 4.x uses XF86Config-4 first, and if it can't find it uses XF86Config. What version of X do you have? I've had pretty good luck on newish chipsets and lcd displays by ... 1. have only one of XF86Config-4 and XF86Config (I use -4) 2. comment out the Modes line in XF86Config-4 and add one that has *only* the native res. 3. Upgrade X to the one from testing or unstable (i.e. one that's likely to recognize and understand the ideosyncracies of more chipsets) #1 might fix it, or you may have to go to #2 or #3. If #3 doesn't work, try a Modes line that has one of the more conventional resolutions (example: my Dell has a native rez of 1920x1200 but I had to run it at 1600x1200 [black on sides] till I got the special nvidia module). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
