Eg: (--) GLINT: Mode "800x600" needs vert refresh rate of 100.03 Hz. Deleted. (--) GLINT: Mode "1600x1200" needs hsync freq of 93.75 kHz. Deleted. (--) GLINT: Mode "1600x1200" needs hsync freq of 105.77 kHz. Deleted. (--) GLINT: Mode "1800X1440" needs hsync freq of 96.15 kHz. Deleted. (--) GLINT: Mode "1800X1440" needs hsync freq of 104.52 kHz. Deleted. These usually have to do with your monitor settings being too conservative. Check the VertRefresh & HorizSync in your XF86Config file. For jrandom DEC VRT17-HAs I'm using: HorizSync 30 - 90.0 VertRefresh 50-90 My 1280x1024 modeline is: # 1280x1024 @ 74 Hz, 78.85 kHz hsync Modeline "1280x1024" 135 1280 1312 1456 1712 1024 1027 1030 1064 I'm certainly not an X configuration expert. Perhaps somebody else could help you further..
