I had trouble with an LCD screen, it was caused by this line in
XF86Config:
VertRefresh 60
I had said (on being asked by the setup program) that my display was a
standard
60Hz LCD (which was true), so this is fair enough, but what can happen is
that
When XFree86 computes the vertical refresh rate for your 800x600 display
mode,
it comes out at 59.9996 or something, and since 59.9996 != 60, pop! no
800x600 mode.
In my case, relaxing the line to read
VertRefresh 59.5 - 60.5
caused everything to work magically. (at least until I gave the laptop to
someone else and they stuck Win98 on it. )
It's also worth redirecting the output of startx to a file, since this
usually
contains info that can tell you why it's not giving you the resolution you
asked for.
Usual disclaimers, YMMV etc. apply to above. :)
