I had a similar problem. What it took to correct it for me was to go into XF86Config and change the frequencies for the display to the correct ones. After that, it took care of itself. The best place to find this for me was using Google. Oh yeah, look for where the resolutions are listed and it will default to the first fequency listed. -Pav -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
