Put the relevant stuff in Section "Monitor". I have this, but your
monitor may well be different:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 31.5 - 64.3
VertRefresh 50-90
EndSection
and the appropriate modelines. I think they're all standard anyway,
though.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Voodoo3 (generic)"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
EndSection
Then I have this:
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "Voodoo3 (generic)"
Monitor "My Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
# Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
and in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers:
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X :0 vt7 -bpp 16 -gamma 1.5
Hope this helps...
