Unfortunately I do *NOT* want it detecting this "stuff". As I said, I have 2 computers. Both are using 17" CRTs (4:3). The section you quoted was added after my initial configuration and one used 1152x864 and the other used 1280x768. On both, I have only 1 resolution. I'm unable to use the C-A-plus/minus to change from one resolution to another. The resolutions listed in the display subsection is the ones I want to beable to use on both machines in the listed order. > A close scrutiny of /var/log/Xorg.0.log will then tell you exactly > what it finds... I looked, but didn't see much. I saw mode lines for several resolutions on the one that is doing 1280x768. I did not see 1152x864 on that one. I also enabled modedebug in the video driver just to see what it says. Should I send the xlog (if so, /w or w/o modedebug)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
