Well, I can see how that works out. If your monitor is set to autodetect, X might recognise that the closest to 1280x1024 on that monitor, and by combining the given modelines with the ones in the BIOS, is 1280x800. It then selects that modeline from your BIOS, and runs it. :) Regards, Pieter Hulshoff _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
