Hi,

I have forever been trying to configure my Toshiba Satellite 2060CDS to
visually be pleasing under XFree. 

I have had it working in 16 bit 800x600 for a while in older versions of
XFree but whenever I would move a window, or a window was busy
(compiling or whatever), the movement would shadow across the screen and
there would be a horrible flicker. I have been living with that for a
while until I installed XFree 4.0 today.

XFree86 -configure sets it up nicely (yeah! no flicker) detecting more
than I new I had, but the resolution is shocking and so is the color
depth. Using the xf86config script get me at the 'HorizSync' question.

Man! , I would love to know what to specify for a laptop monitor.

The manual reveals little, the closest thing to what I want \ am after
is listed as:

MODE	      DISPLAY MODE	RES.	LCD COLORS CRT COLORS  VERT. FRQ

Non-Interlace    24-bit 	800x600 16M/16M   16M/16M	60Hz

Non-Interlace
High Refresh rate  ""		""	""	    ""		75Hz

Non-Interlace
Flicker Free	   ""		""	""	    ""		85Hz


But no Horizontal. :(

Solutions? Ideas? Grail like documentation? Anything, please, before I
go crazy.

Sarton
