Does your monitor work in DOS? Do you have a special video card for your
monitor to do the fixed frequency? In my /etc/X11/XF86Config file I set
the Vertical and Horizontal refresh rate to one frequency instead of a
range of them, I set it to a frequency that my monitor and video card are
both comfortable with and it works great, it's just slow :(
486DX woes.

From the manpage of XF86Config:

-8<---------------------------------------------------------------
HorizSync horizsync-range
gives the range(s) of horizontal sync frequencies
supported by the monitor. horizsync-range may be
a comma separated list of either discrete values
or ranges of values. A range of values is two
values separated by a dash. By default the values
are in units of kHz. They may be specified in MHz
or Hz if MHz or Hz is added to the end of the
line. The data given here is used by the X server
to determine if video modes are within the speci-
fications of the monitor. This information should
be available in the monitor's handbook.

VertRefresh vertrefresh-range
gives the range(s) of vertical refresh frequencies
supported by the monitor. vertrefresh-range may
be a comma separated list of either discrete
values or ranges of values. A range of values is
two values separated by a dash. By default the
values are in units of Hz. They may be specified
in MHz or kHz if MHz or kHz is added to the end of
the line. The data given here is used by the X
server to determine if video modes are within the
specifications of the monitor. This information
should be available in the monitor's handbook.
-8<---------------------------------------------------------------

I don't remember if it is possible to enter discrete values in
XF86Setup, but you should be able to do this with xf86config.

I have a Sony GDM-something or other at home. It's a fixed freq
11?? something by 7?? something. Anyway, some really wierd freq.
I ended up paying a monitor store to look up the specs for me, and
after fiddling with xvidtune alot I got it working.

Actually it's coming back to me now. I made my own modeline, taking
wild ass guesses on most of the values there. I ended up finding
something that worked, and then spent an hour or more tuning all the
numbers with xvidtune.

If the original poster (or anyone else for that matter) cares, I can
post the exact model number and XF86Config sometime from home.

Just reply to me via email requesting it.
