When I went to enter that in, I looked up a website to tell me where to put that, because I couldn't remember. I finally stumbled on this: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/FAQVideoModes#head-a8891acdd12af18ef2c26fd86e50c194ac26eb0f which says how to get the correct numbers from xorg.log files. I put the numbers it needed in and it worked perfectly. My modeline is a little different than yours.. i'm not sure how picky xorg is about it but it works, so I'm happy with that. At least you put me in the direction I needed to go, thanks! Now if I can have the same luck with the suspend thing. krgn wrote: >I have a Satellite P10 probably slightly different from yours but maybe >this modeline works.
