Does anyone know how to....

how to hack the XF86Config-4 file to input the entries I need to get a crystal clear picture ? For instance, my old XF86Config file read as follows:

<SNIP!>
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Primary Monitor"
Vendor "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 31-65
VertRefresh 50-120
Modeline "1152x864" 92.00 1152 1208 1368 1474 864 865 875 895
EndSection
</SNIP!>

I tried to use this data in the XF86Config-4 file, even added the -hsync & -vsync, but I do not have a really clear picture. (i.e. small vertical lines of "static" & overall slightly distorted.

I have a Diamond Stealth II - S220 (rendition 2100/2200) & a Sony Multiscan-15sf monitor.

Any ideas ??

Only one idea - did you make sure the monitor being used was "Primary Monitor" in your relevent screen section(s)?
Sorry if the answer to that is "yes" - you did ask for any ideas.

Yes, in XFree86 4.x it is "Monitor 0", and the other Monitor is commented out as well as my other video card...

Any other ideas ? I still have not figured this problem out....

It looks like your Modeline specs may be a little high. Try lowering the 92.00.

The XF86Config man page has all the syntax stuff in there ... did you look in there yet?
