On a similar note - does anyone have the modeline entries for a

relatively similar, but at the same time I don't want to toast
the monitor. Or is it really possible to toast modern monitors
these days ? Don't they just shut themselves down when they get a
signal outside their range ?
the ones that do are safe. the cheap ones that don't can be easily
fried.
Any good pointers for X configuration details ? I only managed
to get it working by building the configuration file by hand
based on the chapter in Running Linux (O'Reilly) - so I'm sure
there are some extra things I could change - if I knew what the
settings were.
see the README.SiS - in /usr/X11R6/lib/doc if you installed the
doc's, or else in the Release notes on www.xfree86.org. Couple of
tweakable options, but it says the chip is prone to "snowing" if
pushed.
Cheers,
David.
