I'm not sure if this information will be helpful (caveat user), but I have a Sony GDM-F500, and this little exchange of email spurred me to figure out what it runs like in 1600x1200 resolution. (Usually I run at 1280x1024.) My display card is a Matrox Millenium G400 16MB. I ran XF86Setup, then on the appropriate screen, I input the horizontal and vertical frequencies from the monitor specifications (30-121 kHz horizontal, 48-160 Hz vertical). The end result is that I'm now staring at a 1600x1200 screen with an 86 Hz vertical refresh frequency. Looks like it can also do 1280x1024 at 100 Hz. I don't think you'll be able to use my modelines verbatim, but here they are anyways: Modeline "1600x1200" 220.00 1600 1616 1808 2080 1200 1204 1207 1244 +hsync +vsync Modeline "1280x1024" 181.75 1280 1312 1440 1696 1024 1031 1046 1072 -hsync -vsync Hope this helps...
