While attempting (and failing) to find a ModeLine that works, I found some oddities.

I've put in some very wide ranges for Horizontal and Vertical timings.

The log file shows them as being accepted, near as I can tell.

Various ModeLines I was trying would be rejected "(illegal vertical timings)", but I just figured that was you guys being smart (yay!) and saving me from blowing up my monitor or something...

But then I put in one that was rejected, and the SAME numbers end up getting used anyway as one of the default settings.

Is that weird, or am I just not understanding something?

I suppose it's possible that ModeLines from idiots (me) would be rejected as "dangerous" while others that got hand-checked somehow (?) by geniuses (you guys) would have the same numbers and work as defaults, but that seems kind of odd...

XF86Config and XFree86.0.log (revised slightly from previous post) are here:

It's still very speckly, though the lower dot-clocks seem to make it more "vertical streaky" rather than "speckly" at least until I move the mouse around...

Just what sort of fine-grained numbers should one try in the binary search between a ModeLine that is "speckly" (dot clock too high?) and one that is rejected out of hand? IE, if 15.00 is "illegal vertical timings" and 15.01 is speckly, is 15.005 an option or do I just give up at that point?
