Yep, that seems required for the Lombard panel. Either the vertical refresh rate is really that low, or X internally doubles the rate. I'm sure you can somehow measure the rates to figure out what's up.... > How critical are these values - Are they only referrence values for X to > work within? i.e., minimum & maximum values? These values are safe boundaries for X to calculate mode timings. In theory, it might be possible to damage badly designed hardware by using grossly out of range settings. I doubt it's critical in this case (I'm using the weird settings for over a year now IIRC). > Also, what affect do the "DMAMode"/"mmio" arguments have?

I've noticed little difference with or without the DMAMode option.... running x11perf with either config should tell if that's actually true. Michael
