I just got my new 1280x1024 17" flatscreen set up, and it looked like hell, with moires, aliased vertical lines, etc.. As seems to be the case after running XF86Config originally, I had several 1280x1024 ModeLines in my XF86Config file. The closest modeline looked like this:
# 1280x1024 @ 61 Hz, 64.2 kHz hsync Modeline "1280x1024" 110 1280 1328 1512 1712 1024 1025 1028 1054 Since the flat screen really wants to have *exactly* the right pixel frequency, as a shot in the dark I added these lines right above that one: Modeline "1280x1024" 108 1280 1328 1512 1712 1024 1025 1028 1054 Modeline "1280x1024" 108.5 1280 1328 1512 1712 1024 1025 1028 1054 Modeline "1280x1024" 109 1280 1328 1512 1712 1024 1025 1028 1054 Modeline "1280x1024" 109.5 1280 1328 1512 1712 1024 1025 1028 1054 I changed only the pixel clock - it's close enough that the other parameters didn't seem to need adjustment - and things look very good now.. right now my display says it's getting 63.9 kHz horzontal sync - almost perfect. (The display wants 63.98 H and 60.02 V.) My question is: In the presence of several 1280x1024 modelines, how is the modeline chosen? Is XF86 even using the XF86Config file? The XF86COnfig-4 files doesn't have any modelines in it. I don't see anything in the log file except "(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024"" This is XFree86 4.2.0, the one that comes with RedHat 7.3, and the NVidia-supplied driver to a Geforce2.
