I got it I got it I got it!!!
Wooo Hooo!!! I feel like some kinda genius!
(One of those whose head is about to be popped like a balloon?)
I got a perfect 1024x768 @ 70Hz on a Beige G3 All-In-One
Here's what I had to do to the XF86Config-4 file:
1--Deleted all the Modelines that did NOT fit my computer. (I know X is
sposed to do this... I did it anyway) It started working better as I deleted
more and more of the 1024 resolutions... Somehow it seems (?) as if X was
trying to use an incorrect 1024 resolution.
2--Changed the DISPLAY subsections to read like below. Originally there was
a 4th line in each section I removed. It was "Virtual 1024 768" tagline.
This was creating a virtual screen that was larger than my screen area.(?)
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
Hope this helps.
John

-- Boyarsky sez-- Why take a right turn when 3 lefts will get you there... It's more scenic too!
