xvidtune wouldn't let me change the display, it kept complaining about a
unsupported configuration.
I used fbset -x and got the settings to change in xvidtune and clicked
the show button. I don't know much about the XF86Config-4 file format.
I put the modeline where I thought it went but it didn't change anything.
I decided to use Xconfigurator to create a fail-safe file, I figured
that would be a good starting point. Strange thing is that the file
works perfectly as is.
I'd say problem solved but I'd also like to know what is different from
the old file. At least it works now.
Thanks for the help,
Heather Donahue
