I have XFree86 on 2 computers. 1 has a STB Nitro 3D with Virge chip. It uses
the SVGA server, and I can get 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768.
The other computer has a Trident GUI9680 1MB RAM. The problem is that, using
the VGA16 server, I get 3 resolutions, but with the SVGA server, I only get
1024x768, and it is hard to read.
When I use Ctrl-Alt-+ to switch resolutions, I get a black screen or rapidly
flickering lines for 800x600 and 640x480. I had to comment out all the
modelines that had settings out of my card& monitor's range for it to even
work at all.
I see only 1 modeline for 1024x768, and it works. there are quite a few for
640x480 and 800x600. How do you know what modelines to use? I thought X would
check the modelines till it found one that worked, but it sometimes doesn't I
guess.
