Thank you John.  At the back of my monitor I have 31.5/35.2/35.5 indicated
as the horizontal ranges.  /var/log/xdm-errors indeed reported that there
is only one mode - the others rejected because the frequency is not
correct.

After changing my /etc/XF86Config to 31.5-35.2, 35.5 (it was 31.5, 35.2,
35.5) I have more than one mode again.  But I do not know whether that may
damage my monitor, so I put the original back again for the time being.

Can I safely change 31.5, 35.2, 35.5 to 31.5-35.2, 35.5?

Johann
