[XFree86] RedHat 9 and SGI 1600SW Question

["Matthew Bunyard" <matthewbunyard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a RedHat 9 box with a Number 9 IV Revolution video card and XFree86 
4.3.0 installed.  I have found the documentation on the ModeLines for the 
XFree86 4.3.0 for the Number Nine card and an SGI flat panel (I have the 
1600SW), but need some clarification.  Do I just add the ModeLines to the 
end of the "Monitor" Section of the XF86Config file?  Do I remove the 
HorizSync and VertRefresh lines that are present?  How do I know what other 
properties need to be changed if any (i.e. from my current monitor to the 
1600SW monitor)?  I have found many different examples of this type of setup 
on many other sites, but I would like really appreciate a "true" answer.  
Thanks.

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
