Thanks for that page. Very interesting.

Does that mean that I could use:

Modeline "1024x768_60" 64.56 1024 1056 1296 1328 768 783 791 807
Modeline "1024x768_70" 78.36 1024 1056 1352 1384 768 783 792 807
Modeline "1024x768_75" 85.56 1024 1056 1376 1408 768 782 792 807
Modeline "1024x768_85" 100.94 1024 1056 1432 1464 768 782 793 807
Modeline "800x600_x" 48.18 800 840 920 1040 600 601 604 626
Modeline "640x480_y" 30.25 640 664 728 816 480 481 484 501

and:

Modes       "1024x768_60" "1024x768_70" "1024x768_75" "1024x768_85" "800x600_x" "640x480_y"

and just use Ctrl+Alt++ to cycle between all the possibilities?

Or have I misunderstood?

Cheers
Damian
