Maybe the reason that asking for 16/10 didn't generate 1600x1024 is because 1600x1024 != 16/10 <g>. I went back and specifically asked for 1600x1024 at the ilog.fr site, and I got a working modeline for my 6-year-old ATI (Mach64 chipset). -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
