Yes, of course. See one of my previous mails: > > Especially, the settings for horizontal and vertical sync ranges [...] are > > exactly those given in my monitor's documentation. I want to add a comment. In an earlier mail, I wrote: > > So obviously the lack of suitable 24 bit color depth modes leads to the > > problem with sarge's xserver-xfree86.

The problem occured when I was trying a resolution of 1024 x 768 with 24 bit color depth which is too much for 2 MB card memory. However, meanwhile, I found out that the problem is also present when I try to use a resolution of 800 x 600 with 24 bit color depth where the memory *is* sufficient. So it seems as if there was a general problem with 24 bit color depth.
