 	For *SOME* modes.  I've never seen one that uses a nice-n-sane 
HxV_F, but that may have changed since the last time I looked.  Last time 
I relied on that, it sucked because it only had a handful of common modes 
(1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200, etc).

 	Bottom line... not enough of the xorg.conf file and Xorg.0.log 
file to tell what the problems is.
