Hi Jeff,
These are the power supply specs (nothing about graphics capabilities)
In order to avoid frying your screen, comment all the modelines in
/etc/X11/XF86Config but VESA modes (even in VESA modes, leave only
the lowest modes available).
Then test them: get out ASAP when you got a screwy screen!!
Switch from one mode to another (higher) with CTRL_ALT_+
and backward with CTRL_ALT_- ; go out with CTRL_ALT_BACKSPACE.
Once you'll know what modes are Ok in VESA, carefully try them
in other dac speed (once again begin with low modes!)
Remember, the HSync is in the modelines comment, and the dacspeed
is the first number in a modeline line.
