Well if I use (for example):
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 then:
Modes "1024x768_60" "1024x768_70" "1024x768_75" "1024x768_85" "800x600_x" "640x480_y"
would that try all of those mode lines until it found one that worked?
That was one of the things I was trying towards the end of the day on Wednesday.
Trying to find a way to try lots of modelines...

Damian,
Read <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=454217&postcount=1">http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=454217&postcount=1</a> and see
if this gets any clearer. It should answer both of your above
questions (at least).

Thanks for that page. Very interesting.<br>
<br>
Does that mean that I could use:<br>
<pre wrap="">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
