I know its just a text field. FS = Flat Screen? FP = Flat Panel? > ModelName "LCD Panel 1280x1024" > HorizSync 83 > VertRefresh 76 > Option "DPMS" > EndSection Er, uh, I believe that you will be better of specifying ranges for the H and V fields, not single numbers. The more possible values available there, the more modes will be available to you.... HorizSync 30 - 83 VertRefresh 50 - 76 (from the BenQ spec sheet) > Section "Screen" > Identifier "Screen0" > Device "Card0" > Monitor "Monitor0" > DefaultDepth 24 > SubSection "Display" > Viewport 0 0 > Depth 24 > Modes "1280x1024" > EndSubSection > EndSection Then again, maybe you only need to specify numbers that will get you that magic 1280x1024 mode working.... I would think that if you leave out the "Screen" section, you will gain all the modes possible based on the H & V calculations, and you can at least select 1280x1024 from the list if it isn't the default mode.... Then again, I too have trouble pairing my xorg.confs of extraneous information just because I've been adding modes to them for years just so see how many I can get to work on my monitors. That may have something to do with my blowing so many CRTs back in the day by overdriving them a little just to get some extra resolution on them that they really couldn't handle.
