You can damage your display and/or you adapter. (I am not sure if this applies to laptop displays so I err on the side of caution.) Setting up mode timings can be tricky and takes more time to explain that I have here. There is a good resource for this in "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey and there is also _ONE_ good resource on the net for it. http://tsikora.tiac.net/video-modes.html Thank you, | Try some of this.
