My First problem is that I have an ET4000, and it does not read modeline's in
svgalib (It does in X), it reads libvga.et4000 for register values to
execute a mode...
My Second problem is that My monitor is second hand, from a desolved
company... and I have no manual, so no confirmed H + V Sync frequency's. :(
