I supposed I could trust acer.com specifications... and I was wrong. as always even good brands cheat people about specs (not to mention that vsync and hsync are not even reportend in the 4 pages stupid manual that came with my display). I wish they could care more about linux users. anyway is there a way to probe vsync too with edid? where could I learn more about edid? bye PS btw: dpms stands for Display Power Management Signaling and should have nothing to do with my problem. am I right? -- Leonardo Canducci - lcanducci@xxxxxxxxx GPG Key ID: 429683DA _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
