The "scan rates" in the online Guide are vertical refresh rates.
>From the XF86Config provided with the XCOM server package:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Multisync"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 30-64
VertRefresh 50-100
# 640x480 @ 60 Hz, 31.5 kHz hsync
Modeline "640x480" 25.175 640 664 760 800 480 491 493 525
# 800x600 @ 60 Hz, 37.8 kHz hsync
Modeline "800x600" 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync
+vsync
# 1024x768 @ 60 Hz, 48.4 kHz hsync
Modeline "1024x768" 65 1024 1032 1176 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync
-vsync
EndSection
one guesses that the useful Horizontal rate for the Dell LCD panel are
31.5, 37.8 and 48.4
On my Debian system, I just installed the XCOM package per directions
using the included XF86Config file and
X windows came up fine at the highest resolution.
Cycling to the lower resolutions is accomplished
by holding Ctrl Alt Fn(marked in blue)
and touching the +(in blue)
which is the ordinary ; key
To me the highest resolution is most comfortable to use.

That's facinating because my online guide does not have the VideoModes >
Graphics section. I can go down to "Display" (Which shows up as 13.3 Inch
Display or 12.1 Inch Display, [2 choices]) and then gives you A screen
showing width, height, etc. There is a "Video Modes" Section that I can
get to by going a bit deeper but all that gives you is what Scan rate (in
Hz) by video mode (320x200 is at 70Hz). But this is useless unless you
have the vertical and horizontal scan rates, shown in most manuals like
this:
Vertical: 50 - 90
Horizontal: 45 - 110
Those numbers do not show up in MY users manual...do they in yours?

For my Inspiron 3000,
Scan rate information is in the onboard DELL SYSTEM USER's Guide under
Win95
in the C:\DELL directory
Features >Specifications>Display>VideoModes>Graphics
though it can also be found using the Index too
