Not necessary - the values for the Generic 1600x1200 (as detected by Mandrake)
seemed OK, but to be on the safe side, I did change them - using info from
the manual. Here's what I have in XF86Config-4:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor1"
VendorName "Generic"
ModelName "1600x1200 @ 70 Hz"
## replaced 2 lines with data from Proview DX997 manual - shlomo - 12/3/03
## HorizSync 31.5-88.0
## VertRefresh 50-90
HorizSync 30.0-98.0
VertRefresh 50-160
But my change didn't make any improvement. As Yedidyah pointed out, the
modeline was the problem. But after GOOGLING quite a bit, I still have no
idea what the various paramaters of the new modeline (created using xvidtune)
are, or how to optimize it even more - as I already write, the changed
modeline greatly improved the display, but it could still be better.
BTW - I found a site that has a utility to compute the modeline, but not only
didn't it work, but it made the display much worse - so I won't post the
address here.
Here's the modeline I added (after playing with svidtune). Can someone explain
what it means.
"1024x768" 94.50 1024 1072 1168 1376 768 769 772 820 +hsync +vsync

Yes, I know - I guess the model number is different in Israel (just as some
cars have different names in different countries -- Opel in most of Europe =
Vauxhaul in England).
