Hi, thanks for the reply! I tried removing modelines but still nothing. The horizontal-vertical frequencies are out of the monitor's manual, but I also tried playing around with those settings because I read somewhere that sometimes a mode might be slightly out of those limits but still work with the monitor. I've actually seen this be done in windows with the help of the utility I downloaded (or at least I think I did, since I'm not an expert when it comes to frequencies in general!). That didn't work either. Since I am getting a video signal from the laptop though, is there anyway I can find out what resolution X is trying to bring up? Thanks again for your time! --- "Benstead, Kevin" <Kevin.Benstead@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > In my (admittedly limited) experience I've always > had problems with > modelines.
