Very Computer

Quite a few people asked me about getting 1152x900 resolutions from
a Cirrus 5426 in XFree 2.0, so I'll post an Xconfig snippet here.

                    WARNING WARNING WARNING

Use at your own risk.  If this fries your monitor, it's not my fault.

                    WARNING WARNING WARNING

This setup works with a CTX 14" NI monitor - useful figures are:
  horizontal sync:  30-38/47-50KHz (Automatic)
    vertical sync:  50-90Hz (Automatic)
  video bandwidth:  60MHz

As you may have guessed, this isn't good enough to run the X server
at 1152x900, and only just works at 1152x864.  Even then, the picture
has a very noticeable flicker.  I only worked this out to see if I
understood how the Xconfig figures work - I hardly ever actually *use*
this resolution :-)

The relevant Xconfig line is:
  "1152x864"  72     1152 1176 1424 1440    864  867  875  907

Hope this helps someone,

    Here is what i use with my BOCA SVGA card and a Nanao FlexScan F550i-W
    monitor.  I tend to like 1024 across because XFree can optimize it.
    Refresh is around 61 Hz, I think.

****** WARNING WARNING WARNING ******
    Use at your own risk, horziontal frequency is over 50 KHz.  If you
    have a cheap monitor, don't even consider trying these!

    I have another machine with an S3 card and can get around 1024x910
    out of it.  SAME WARNINGS APPLY!  I get about 53333 xstones out of the
    S3 card with a DX2/66.  Haven't run Xstones on the boca card yet.
