prob with XF86Configure

[Dave Mallery <dmallery@cia-g.com>]

hi

i have the following ModeLines:
# 640x480 
#ModeLine "640x480" 31 640 664 704 832  480 489 492 520
# 800x600
#ModeLine "800x600" 45 800 856 976 1040  600 637 643 666
# another 800x600
#ModeLine "800x601" 50 800 856 976 1040  600 637 643 666
# 1024x768
ModeLine "1024x768" 75 1024 1048 1184 1328  768 771 777 806
# 1280x1024
ModeLine "1280x1024" 108  1280 1307 1483 1664  1024 1032 1040 1068
 
(note that the first three are commented out.)

*any* one will work.  in this case, i will get 1024x768.  the 
last one will get a message saying the " The dimensions of mode
1280x1024 do not match those of the first valid mode (1024x768).

if i remove all the #s, then i get 640x480 and all the others are
rejected.

here's another sample:

(**) P9000: Vendor/chipset is vipervlb (Diamond Viper VLB)
(**) P9000: (mem: 2048k numclocks: 0 vendor: vipervlb)
(--) P9000: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 135.000 MHz
(**) P9000: Mode "800x601": mode clock =  50.000
(**) P9000: Mode "1024x768": mode clock =  75.000
(--) P9000: The dimensions of mode 1024x768 do not match those of
        the first valid mode (800x601).
(--) P9000: Removing mode "1024x768" from list of valid modes.
(--) P9000: Virtual resolution set to 800x600
(--) P9000: Using hardware cursor
(--) P9000: Using 8 bits per RGB value
(**) P9000: MemSize: 0x200000 MemConfig: 0x2
(--) P9000: DGA double buffering enabled.

anyway, i can run at 1024x768 by commenting out all the preceedents.
my ModeLines conform exactly to the monitor manual.  what is a dimension??

(aside) i could not use the VGA driver cuz my monitor doesn't go that slow
(21.75)  it starts at 30mhz!  that was fun.

many thanks for the help with the kernel.  took all afternoon to ftp
from sunsite, but worked perfectly.
