Well it fixed my issue (XFree86 couldn't find the CRT monitor) with getting my ATI AIW 7500 to work with X. However, the screen is so "white washed". It like I turned the brightness all the way up as high it could go. Just to see, I turned the brightness down to 0. Only then could I see the menus at the bottom of the login screen. The current XFree86 cvs does the same thing. Keven M km@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Sat, 2003-04-26 at 07:44, Mike A.
