I know what my<br>modeline should be so if anyone is willing to share their working<br>Xorg.conf file it would be appreciated. TIA.<br></blockquote></div><br>Other people's working modelines won't do you any good, unless you are driving the exact same display device that they are. You will need to tell us what display you are using.
<br><br>Better yet, you could figure out why X is ignoring your modeline. If you look in your Xorg.0.log file (typically in your /var/log/ directory), it will tell you some interesting stuff. <br><br>In my experience, modelines most often get ignored because they would drive the display in a mode that is outside the specified ranges for the device. In other words, if the modeline would require a horizontal sync, vertical refresh, etc. that does not fall within the device's range, then it gets ignored. Which is a good thing, because it prevents the display from being inadvertently damaged.
<br><br>These ranges may have been specified by you in the file, or they may have been read from the device using EDID. If you have not explicitly instructed EDID to be ignored, then the EDID-supplied data overrides what you specify in the
xorg.conf file. (Be aware that EDID is not always accurate.) <br><br>With a little homework on your part, you can help us help you.<br><br>Tom <br>
