Something you might want to try first is to use fbset to get modelines if you're using an accelerated console driver, like so:
# fbset 640x480-75 # fbset -x [outputs xfree modeline entry] # fbset 800x600-75 # fbset -x [outputs another xfree modeline entry] . . . Just copy and paste them into your XF86Config file. Now, I think this only works if you have an accelerated console driver working. Good luck, Josh
