Those are incomplete specs. Those just show the maximums. For there to be a maximum implies there is a minimum and therefore a sync range, which means this is not a fixed freqency monitor, but a multisync monitor, and therefore you don't need a custom modeline. You just need to put the correct ranges for the HorizSync and VertRefresh in the XF86Config. If you can't find the actual ranges for you monitor listed anywhere we can probably assume it's similar to other multisync monitors. In that case you can use something like: HorizSync 30-54 VertRefresh 60-90 Mark. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mark Vojkovich" <mvojkovi@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2004 12:04 AM > Subject: Re: (no subject) > > > > On Sat, 9 Oct 2004, Kamran Riaz wrote: > > > > > Thanks for your time, but please guide me on how can I add a custom > > > modeline? > > > > To create one for a fixed frequency monitor is complicated. > > You can consult ESR's howto at: > > > > http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO/ > > > > and other places on the net. > > > > Programs like gtf, which comes with XFree86 since version > > 4.3.0, can produce modelines for multisync monitors.
