Jennifer had already established that she was using an LCD monitor. AFAIK, CRTs are the only ones that you have to worry about frying with bad h/vsychs. Therefore, getting the h/vsynch variable out of the mix by just telling XFree to use a nice, big range for both seemed to be a decently simplifying thing to do. Did I make some wrong assumptions? -jam _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
