If it's an LCD, use VertRefresh 60.) Warren, thank you, but this doesn't help. I've added: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" HorizSync 30-50 VertRefresh 60 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "mach64" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection This is an LCD monitor, and the manuf. specs state max res 1280x1024 horizontal: 30-80 vertical: 50-75 I tried modes down to 800x600 - no change. I noticed also this error: (EE) [drm] drmOpen failed. (EE) MACH64(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit Failed should I add device drm to the kernel? Just to remind, this is sparc64. > Incidentally, Radeon 7000 cards are available in standard PCI for $20 or > so.

There are many more radeon 7000 on offer than pgx64. many thanks as always anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
