I think that if xrandr -q does not show the resolution you are seeking, then the video card or driver in question cannot provide it. I'm not sure that feeding xorg any odd modeline will change things, plus unlike a CRT monitor, LCDs only provide a clear image at their native resolution (denoted by '+' in the xrandr list of resolutions) --=20 Regards, Mick
