Has this code been updated in X 4.2? I know that in X 4.1, the XF86VidMode calls to do this didn't work at all (making a modeline on the fly, adding it, and switching to it): the code was just unfinished. I wrote a patch to fix this but it was buggy and incomplete, so I haven't sent it yet. If nobody has fixed it, it may be why it's not working for you. -- Billy Biggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
