I think the error is in the Modelines parameter. Can somebody help me ? Jeffrey Friedl already answered this but wanted to add that Darin Ernst provides an WDC90C24 XF86Config web page for notebooks at http://www.castle.net/~darin It includes clocks for the SVGA 755CX. Also, there's Yoshiro Miharas "How to 800x600 dots on LCD with X window system" web page at http://www.yy.cs.keio.ac.jp/contrib/sanpei/how2800x600.html which provides boot block and console patches that set the video controller to VESA 800x600 mode on boot so running "ps2 mode3x on" in DOS and warm booting Linux is not necessary (note: I don't use Linux so haven't tested it, and you need to read the code first to make sure it doesn't do something unexpected). -- Mark Ng mng@crl.com
