Bravo! HorizSync is enough. I made a fresh xorg.conf with Xorg -configure and with the following additional lines get this display. http://members.shaw.ca/peasthope/ThinkPadDisplay2.jpg Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" HorizSync 72-80 DisplaySize 305 229 EndSection The HorizSync range is based upon the calculation mentioned in the Wikipedia. HorizSync = RefreshRate x VerticalResolution x 1.05. I had assumed VerticalResolution = 1400, the largest value in the IBM specs. Successful operation at 1400x1050 is more than I expected. DisplaySize can be measured accurately with a ruler. It might improve the aspect ratio slightly and is unlikely to be harmful. What command will give all extant monitor parameters during operation? xset reports on keyboard, mouse, colors and fonts but not the monitor. Given that X configuration is meant to be automatic, this story should warrant a bug report. Thanks for the help, ...
