[snip] Old maps used to say 'Here be dragons' at the edge ... Modern xorgs have no xorg.con file, every thing is auto-detected. No xorg.conf means no mode lines Even if you specify blabla and the monitor ID says otherblabla then the monitor will prevail, with options to say DO NOT. from man pages: [if] EDID will be available at all times, or if you have added custom modelines which the server can use. (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) So the answer to your question depends on your distro, your monitor and your video card, and is very complicated, and if it works on one distro may not work on another James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
