To stop this, X probes your monitor (if it supports EDID) to get the refresh and sync values it can display, and it won't let you set the value outside this. I would troll through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if you can see anything interesting about EDID or sync, etc. HTH! -- Iain Buchanan We question most of the mantras around here periodically, in case you hadn't noticed. :-) -- Larry Wall in <199705101952.MAA00756@wall.org> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
