When running xvidtune this is what I get: Vendor: Monitor Vendor Model: Dell1704FPV (Analog) num hsync:1, num vsync:1 hsync range 0: 30.00 - 81.00 vsync range 0: 56.00 - 76.00 Video are not settable on this chip What does the last line mean? And with these settings what would my monitor lines look like in xorg.conf with these settings? This is what it looks like now: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Dell 1704FPV (Analog)" DisplaySize 340 270 HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "VESA driver (generic)" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Sorry for my ignorance, I usually don't install X. On the windows machine, my settings are 1280x1024 at 75Hz refresh rate if that helps. Dan
