Hi,

I've got a problem with my X configuration which is hindering me playing some 
games in winex. For some reason unless the games run in 1024x768 (which is my 
default desktop resolution) the sides of the screen are squashed like the 
image is being displayed under a glass. At 800x600 they run OK too but 
definately not at 640x480. My screen section of my XF86Config looks like 
this...

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection

I had this problem with the squashing before when I used to use xf86config to 
create my XF86Config file but since I started editing it myself or using 
slackware's XF86Setup my display looks correct. Even in windows I had the 
squashed problem. I got around this by setting the refresh rate to 75hz. Any 
higher or lower and the sides of the screen get squashed or stretched 
respectively. The only way I can get around this is by running 640x480 games 
in a window on my desktop which I don't really like doing.

Also, just a wondering. If I added a higher resolution to my Modes is it 
possible to still get X to use 1024x768? I added one higher but X started 
using that as the default.

Please help,

Darrell
