Matt,

That would be good.

A colleauge of mine here has an NEC Versa 4080H which we cannot get to work
in 800x600 on the built-in
LCD display -- 712x600 is all we can do.
It seems to be a combination of bad modeline entry, buggy video chipset and
not-quite-right XServer code.

I also have a monitor at home that can do 1280x1024 at 85Hz but whenever I try
to push that into it, it doesn't
always sync correctly, while the other OS has no problem with that
resolution/refresh combo.

Also, how do pixel depths come into it?

If I change 32bit to 24bit, does it need a new modeline entry?

Cheers,

Colin
