I have successfully installed the server and it runs except for one problem. I
can't get it to run at any resolution other then 640x480. I've tried adding and
removing everything I can think of from the xf86config file. Nothing seems to
make a difference. My configuration is as follows: AMD K2/500, 256MB RAM, PCI
video with SIS 6326 chip set, and Mandrake 7.0. I installed the binary package
of Xfree86 for glibc2.1. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Harvey

Here is a copy of my XF86Config file:

You need to specify some modes and modelines. Here is what I have (I also have a
SIS 6326):

Per someone's suggestion, I ran the xf86config utility and it created the
modelines for me. After some small mods I got it working they way I like.
Thanks for the suggestions,
Harvey
