Thanks for the info.

Adjusting the mode name results in exactly the same effect - ie no mode of this name.

Adjusting the Virtual to 1280 1024 results in a different log message of
having a larger virtual but it still has the same effect - it chooses 640x480 and complains about other mode names (eg "1024x768") which it has previously detected but indicates no mode of this name.

Any other ideas?
(I'll resend the config and log files if requested)

Dear XFree People,
I recently upgraded my machine - uses NetBSD-3.0 OS, Gateway FPD1930 Display, with I810 built-in video and XFree86 V 4.5.0. X detects various video modes from the monitor which don't seem to be rejected because of timing yet when are specified in the Display subsection of the Monitor section are discarded because it reports ...no mode of this name... I even manually set up a mode with a unique name and yet X still rejects it because of ...no mode of this name...
  It uses a built-in mode of 480x640 (one of the ones it detected).
  How do I get it to use a different mode?

First, "1024x1280JCH" != "1280x1024JCH".

Secondly, your Virtual specification will limit the physical modes you can end up with.
