I have had this "invalid" mode problem also. I had to fix it using a hardcoded modeline in the config file. Unfortunately for the OP, I can't remember how I determined the modeline, but I seem to remember simply cutting and pasting it from the auto-detect modelines. I pasted in a modeline X claimed wouldn't work, and it worked perfectly. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
