I know. That's why I'm confused. My HorizSync and VertRefresh rates
are from when I was using Debian, which worked perfectly for 1024x768.
There are a whole lot of warning messages about hsync and vsync in the
log, but I don't know why it's a problem.

I figure the old qt looks are just the gnome theme. I attached a photo
showing the large horizontal lines that remind me of older qt. Problem
is all I have is System->Administration->Login Window, with no other
administration items like 'Themes' to change. I think gnome was just
barely added to the ppc port so they're probably still working things
out, but no luck in the arch linux forums yet.

Attached. Symptom: 1360x768, Desired: 1024x768 (as specified in the xorg.conf).
Thanks again for the help.
