Because it's (almost) a VESA standard modeline, and thus support for it is built into the XFree86 4.x X server. $ zgrep 1024x768 /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/examples/vesamodes.gz # 1024x768i @ 43Hz (industry standard) hsync: 35.5kHz ModeLine "1024x768" 44.9 1024 1032 1208 1264 768 768 776 817 +hsync +vsync Interlace # 1024x768 @ 60Hz (VESA) hsync: 48.4kHz ModeLine "1024x768" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync # 1024x768 @ 70Hz (VESA) hsync: 56.5kHz ModeLine "1024x768" 75.0 1024 1048 1184 1328 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync # 1024x768 @ 75Hz (VESA) hsync: 60.0kHz ModeLine "1024x768" 78.8 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800 +hsync +vsync # 1024x768 @ 85Hz (VESA) hsync: 68.7kHz ModeLine "1024x768" 94.5 1024 1072 1168 1376 768 769 772 808 +hsync +vsync Apparently the iMac monitor is forgiving of the the less than 1% difference between the VESA standard modeline and the one you quoted above. Or perhaps, as someone else said, the monitor will eat anything you feed it as long as it's 60.0kHz horizontal. -- G.
