try starting X with -logverbose 6 and see. In my case, it prints out<br>a bunch of built-in and edid-derived modelines, and also why some<br>modes are rejected..<br><br>jan</blockquote><div><br> Hmmm...<br>

Well, this is what my X log says:<br>
<br>

It apparently doesn't like my modelines and modes. Here is a snippet from my xorg.conf...<br>
<br>
Section "Monitor"<br>
Identifier "Monitor0"<br>
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"<br>
ModelName "27in Analog TV"<br>
HorizSync 30.0 - 50.0<br>
#VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0<br>
Option "dpms"<br>
Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"<br>
Option "DPI" "100 x 100"<br>
ModeLine "NTSC_60i" 14.318 768 784 848 910 483 484 492 525 Interlace<br>
Modeline "720x480_60" 26.72 720 736 808 896 480 481 484 497 -HSync +Vsync<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
I got the first Modeline from the MythTV modeline page in Wiki and the second was generated by gtf.<br>
<br>
Then I use them as follows:<br>
<br>
Section "Screen"<br>
Identifier "Screen0"<br>
Device "Videocard0"<br>
Monitor "Monitor0"<br>
DefaultDepth 24<br>
SubSection "Display"<br>
Depth 24<br>
# #Modes "1024x768_60" "800x600_60" "640x480_60"<br>
# #Modes "800x600_60" "640x480_60"<br>
Modes "720x480_60" "NTSC_60i"<br>
EndSubSection<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
Can anybody see why these should be rejected? Remember, I'm outputting to a TV, not a monitor.<br>
