Hello,

Currently I can only go up to 800x600 with the above mentioned
configuration.  The server tells me that beyond that I do not
have high enough clock speed (it says the maximum is 90).

I have included the monitor and device section from my
XF86Config, please excuse the messyness if this wraps on
your screen.  I have edited the Modelines to try to avoid
this.

===================

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier      "Vision Master Pro17"
   VendorName      "iiyama"
   ModelName       "Vision Master Pro17"
   BandWidth       160          # straight out of the manual
   HorizSync       27.0-92.0    # ditto
   VertRefresh     50-160       # ditto
   Modeline  "1280x1024" 135.00 1280 1312 1456 1712 1024 1027 1030
1064            -hsync -vsync
   Modeline  "1152x864"  135.00 1152 1464 1592 1776 864 864 876 908  
-hsync -vsync
   Modeline  "1024x768"   98.90 1024 1056 1216 1408 768 782 788 822          
-hsync -vsync
   Modeline  "800x600"    69.65 800 864 928 1088 600 604 610 640
                +hsync +vsync
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier      "Stealth64"
   VendorName      "Diamond Multimedia"
   BoardName       "Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM"
   VideoRam        4096
   ClockChip       "icd2061a"
   DacSpeed        135.0
   Option          "diamond"
   Option          "s3_964_bt485_vclk"
   Option          "fast_vram"
EndSection

=====================

First problem: according the Windows95 utilities from Diamond,
the clock chip is actually an "ics2061/2061a", not icd, but
XF doesn't have that clock chip listed.

The RamDac is bt485, and is detected, as is a lot of the options
I specified trying to get this to work.  Those last three
"Options" were specified in the order shown, one at a time
trying to get higher resolutions.  At first I tried using just
the bare minimum options, but with no success.

This configuration can *obviously* go above 800x600, I am
currently using 1280x1024x24 in Windows as I write this, but
XF insists the DotClock can't go above 90.0.

Before I bug the XFree guys (I have looked at the FAQ), I
though I'd go ahead and ask for help here.

Thanks,
Fred

I'm sorry...it was pretty darn stupid of me to mention that
I am, in fact, using XFree 3.3.1.

Thanks,
Fred
