Hello List! I've a Problem with my X Configuration. I want to switch my Matrox Millenium G200 Graphics Adapter into interlaced mode, but it won't do that. I try to connect a RGB-TFT Module (It's only a TFT Module, not a real Screen) to my Graphics Adapter as shown here: http://home1.gte.net/bs/sharp2.html Due to the fact that there are existing "modelines" for the MGA.MON file in WinXX I think that there also have to be working modelines for that in XFree, because i really don't want to run Win on this machine... I just need a TV-like RGB NTSC Output as shown here: http://www.sput.nl/hardware/tv-x.html And so i copied some modelines from there: http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~pfeffer/tvout/ an tried to get that work... But my X server doesn't like these modelines (bad mode click/ interlace/ doublescan). Whats wrong with it?

Fatal server error: no screens found Right, there are DDC Informations from the monitor which is connected to the card for "debugging", but when i pull out the monitor cable, so that Xfree can't get any DDC information, it won't work either.
