After trying loads of things for a day, the following (based on mpitch's
code above) worked for my Toshiba Tecra M1 with Trident XP4m32 graphics
(1024x768, 60Hz LCD screen). My problem was that i could not get the
option to choose a screen resolution higher than 800x600 (a common
problem, judging by the fora).
after re-installation of xserver-xorg so that computer booted into its default
(small screen) state, i:
1) deleted the last few sections of mpitch's code
2) changed the clock MHz to 63.5 (rather than 65.0)
3) adjusted the Modeline dimensions (and changed -vsync -hsync to -Hsync +Vsync)
4) added the Option "PreferredMode" "1024x...@60"
I can't say which of these small changes were responsible, and i also
re-installed all the xserver-xorg packages again halfway through the above
process, 'cause it seemed to be failing, though all was well on shutdown and
restart - it restarted in 800x600, but i then had the option to change to
1024x768 in Screen Resolution.
thanks mpitch and good luck to others..
