You need to find out (from the manual or from IBM) the horizontal sync and vertical refresh specifically. Enter those as custom values rather than trying to "pick a screen". You probably have a TFT, not an LCD, anyway. LCD's usually have a much lower frequency preference than a main monitor. You should be able to modyf XF86Config directly to put the correct range of values in there, rather than depending on a selector. > Yours, > Jean Christophe Helary > > A happy y2k :-)
