>Whats the mode???

Mode "1152x870"
    # D: 100.000 MHz, H: 68.681 kHz, V: 75.062 Hz
    DotClock 100.001
    HTimings 1152 1205 1333 1456
    VTimings 870 873 876 915
    Flags "+HSync" "+VSync"
EndMode

It was actually in the sample XF86Config included with the xf400_r128.tar.gz
tarball. But I had originally been trying for 1024x768, and it took a while
before common sense caught up with me and I tried a different resolution ;)

Also, can anyone explain exactly what the vmode setting is supposed to
do? According to the YDL documentation, vmode:17 (which I am using) is
supposed to correspond to 1024x768 @ 75 Hz. However everything I tried
at 1024x768 was hosed and the first thing I tried at 1152x870 worked
beautifully.
