	Just a tip for you guys (and so it stays in the archives for
	further reference), if you are struggling trying to get the
	best out of your monitor/video card combo, be sure not to miss
	the following site:

	http://www-sop.inria.fr/cgi-bin/koala/nph-colas-modelines

	It can make wonders, really. In fact, it has already done for
	me, especially with my new -- and problematic, must I add --
	card Trident 3DImage975. Now, I'm using 1152x864x16bpp and
	with a 74Hz refresh rate.

	BTW, does anybody else uses this card? It is so damnmed slow,
	even compared to my older S3Trio64 (which is dead now,
	unfortunately). Reading its manual, I thought that it would be
	very fast... Or is it a problem with XFree 3.3.6 not
	supporting the cards capabilities?


	[]s, Roger...
