Well, I've had a look at the Mandrake site and the mode you want isn't in
their fb.modes either. So Mandrake won't be any better than YDL. Neither
is the fb.modes distributed with RedHat any good. The stuff on SGIs web
site seems pretty out of date too ....

So you'll probably have to search news groups. I found the posting below
about X setup for the 1600 by searching on google.
