Have you tried to use ModeLine in your monitor section of xorg.conf. E.g: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "IVM" ModelName "PLE480/481" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertRefresh values to use DDC: HorizSync 24.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 55.0 - 76.0 Option "DPMS" ModeLine "1280x1024" 108.00 1280 1340 1452 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync EndSection I got the numbers (all on one line) after the "1280x1024" by running xvidtune.
