My typical strategy for configuring X is to go through xf86config and then try to start X many times deleting modelines from the XF86Config file when they fail (my monitor stays black). This worked great for all of the 3.3 series. I compiled XF86 4.0 and installed it, but when I tried this, I found that there were no modelines in the XF86Config file. A search of xfree86.org yeilds nothing helpful, I was wondering if someone could tell me what happened to them or offer a better way of getting X working. I have a Permedia 2 based reference board and a GoldStar Studioworks 78i monitor. Entering the specs for the monitor (hsync and vrefresh) leave me with a blank screen (and the monitor in sleep mode) with both XF4.0 and 3.3.x.
